The Aquarium

Next Haylee, JC, Kaitlyn, Sydney, and I all piled in the truck to go to the Denver Aquarium. We'd heard really good things about it and really bad things about it, so we decided to check it out for ourselves. It's pricey to get into - $14 but we were so impressed with everything! It honestly should be called a Water Museum instead of an aquarium, because it had sections for almost every type of habitat water exists in. There were rivers, deserts, ocean, shipwrecks, coastal regions, rainforests, and a couple others I don't remember. It was really cool to see all the different fish, sharks, sea turtles, jellyfish, stingrays, etc. as well as a few other creatures you don't usually see in an aquarium such as toucans, parrots, and even tigers (all in the rainforest area)! We loved it all and totally felt like we got our money's worth (and for those of you who know me, I'm pretty frugal, so that's saying a lot!).

Here are JC and Kaitlyn looking at some river fish.

And then at the flash flood (I can see how this would scare some kids, but both of ours enjoyed it)

I was surprised at how much Sydney loved everything there was to look at. She wanted to look at and touch everything. It was really fun!
This diver came over and put his hand on the tank and Sydney put her hand on his!

Met the sharks

And petted the stingrays

Here is a video of JC feeding the stingrays! It was the craziest thing I have ever seen!
