Aquarium

Last Friday, I met up with my friend, Sarah, and we headed down to the aquarium in Sandy with Dylan, Preston and Olivia packed in the good old minivan. It was kind of hard to get pictures so I snapped a few and then decided to just enjoy the day. The kids LOVED the aquarium! I pet the sting rays and Dylan kept trying to but was really nervous. Some kid helped him get over that and he touched them a couple times. I also signed him up to feed the sting rays. I ended up going in with him and it was a little scary. They slide all the way up the side so they can find the food with their mouths (which are on the bottom of their bodies). Dylan ended up doing two pieces and I did two. I was the last person trying to feed the sting ray and EVERYBODY was watching. I was a little nervous and kept pulling my hand back out of the water when the sting ray swam up the side. Everyone seemed to think that was pretty funny. I guess I'm not as brave as I thought. We had so much fun though. It really is AWESOME seeing all these ocean creatures up close (shark, jelly fish, an octopus, etc) and the areas with animals from the Amazon and Utah were cool too. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it! :)
