The Texas State Aquarium is one of our very favorite places to go. We have a year membership so we go there every single week. Here are some of our favorite things at the Aquarium.
We take a handful of pennies every week for Kelsey and Ethan to throw into the fountain.
I don't know why but the kids really love this alligator. They are fascinated with it every single time they see it. He is the very first exibit at the aquarium. Ethan is getting really good at saying "alligator". Kelsey just says "a-tor".
There are a lot of hands on activities. Here is where the kids can touch and pick up different kinds of shells. Some of the shells have little sea animals actually living in them. In another area they have a place where you can pet stingrays.
Ethan loves the dolphins. They have a dolphin training show and Ethan talks about it all week long.
There is also a HUGE play area that is pretty fun. We don't spend too much time there right now because it is so darn hot the kids are dripping within minutes. I'm sure in the winter we will play there all day.
There is also some sharks that the kids love but the picture I took didn't turn out very well so I didn't try to post it..jpg)

My favorite animals are definitely in the water!! It sounds like so much fun, I wish we had one closer...actually, I've never been to the one here, though we need to. It seems like there is so much to keep you busy there. I hope you are enjoying it and that you have a good ward. We miss you around here.
That looks like such an awesome place to go. I know my kids would love it as much as yours! how awesome. Mayley still talks about Kelsey and misses her. When are you coming back to utah?! How are you liking your new ward?! Everything is seems like has changed in our ward now! It's good though! we miss you!
