So yesterday me, Kari, Mike and the kids went to the Downtown Aquarium! It was a lot of fun - and nice and cool too- It's been so hot here! Good thing we didn't go to the zoo like originally planned...we woulda died! Here are some pics :) Enjoy!

Austin didn't say much but I think he thought it was pretty cool - I must've been more scared then him! We saw a lot of big sharks with scary teeth! And even one that looked like it had a saw for a nose!

This was the scariest part for Austin I think - haha. He love loves trains and Kari went to pull the whistle and he jumped! So she took him over there so he could pull it! But he wanted her too :P After we left he kept asking to go back and see the train! haha I think that was his favorite part.

So we all know I have an unrealistic fear of fish - and aquariums kinda creep me out. But I was doing ok! That is, till we went on the shark voyage. We took a little train into a tunnel that was FULL of sharks! It was kinda scary, but VERY cool.

Keira was so cute. Here she is pointing to the starfish. What's funny is right after this picture was taken, she turned her attention to some kind of burlap sack that was on the wall for decoration :P

I love this picture. Look at those big fish!! Creepy

Isn't this picture beautiful!? There always seems to be a halo over Keria's head. She's such an angel and always happy. She makes me smile and laugh so much.

Weirdos! I think he was trying to bite her neck :P

Look at Austin! He's a deep sea diver!

Isn't that cute! They had a little bubble window you could crawl into and see the stingrays fly over you. There are many like this but I like this one cause Keira is looking straight up into the camera! Such a cute girl


These are me, petting the stingrays! We were there for a while before I told Kari that petting stingrays was one of dreams. So we went back to take pictures! She's so talented. Look at these!

This is Marina, one of the female white tigers. She's much smaller then the males but it was so cool to see them. They decorated their habitat like an Indian Temple. We got to see her eat. After that she came down to the glass - a worker there, Joe, was the only male she liked. He would walk by the glass and she would rub and rub against it like a house cat, so affectionate. She loved Joe! It was so interesting to see.
