Cownose ray
Loved these pajama cardinals!
There were several of these pop-up bubbles and Derek had a great time with these.
We were surprised to find a HUGE walk-through tank! There was even Plexiglas underneath our feet so we could see a few feet down to the bottom of the tank. Lots of sharks and huge rays as well as tons of smaller fish and this super cool sea turtle.
A shark swimming over our heads
Some kind of fish
Nurse shark
Another walk-through area of the same shark tank. This time, we were in a room above the tank with sharks beneath our feet.
Lined Seahorse
Seahorse nursery
Freshwater fish
This was pretty cool. It's a replica of a tide pool. Lots of little fish and crabs in it, plus every few minutes the "tide" comes in through the little rectangular opening in the upper left area of the picture.
This was a touch tank the kids could reach into.
Today, we met up with some of the other mothers in the ward and their kids for a playgroup at one of the local parks. When I told Derek we were going to feed the ducks, he ran around the living room yelling "Ducks! Park! Ducks!" He was super cute. He stopped only to tell Mitchell (who had been in the bedroom) that we were going to the park to feed the ducks. We got to the park and he ran towards the closest ducks he saw...
Aren't they cute?! They didn't really like Derek getting too close though.
Derek was so excited about seeing this baby turtle that he nearly jumped in the water to get to it. That's a pinch of bread to illustrate size. He was maybe two inches across.
I was surprised to see what looked like a bait ball of baby catfish swarming around the surface
The catfish didn't escape the notice of a hungry heron, either
