Friday, April 15, 2011

Friday was the kids last day of Spring Break, so I took off work and we headed for the aquarium. They have a few new exhibits there... one is ...

THE MIGHTY MIKE

14Ft American Alligator

Here he is in all of this glory!!!!

Then there is the Frog Bog...

Which I am sure is going to be Abigail's favorite place. There is tunnels and all kinds of learning exhibits... that are built low to the ground and close to the small ones eyes... It is so nice...

They have these Giant frogs in the center... that have buttons on their backs... when you push them... they make the sounds that they make... You can pose on them... Here is Meghan and Jacob on the frogs... They are so nice... There were several small schools there that day and the leaders in the school were NOT watching the kids...so that was a mess.

Here are a few of this exhibits STARS.... Aren't they cute little guys!!!!!

The GREAT Giant OCTOPUS!!!!!

Wow he is a big guy... but he is sooooooooo pretty...

These are shots of all of us petting sharks in the shark petting area... WOW that is amazing... It is like Sand paper... Just like wet slimey sand paper

This little guy liked to sleep on his belly... and was in almost like a trance... it was wierd to see and to pet him like this... but he seemed to like it!

Thank you Jake and Meghan for making my day so much fun!!!!
