This was one of those mornings that we got up early and were out the door in time to be at the aquarium at opening time. So glad we did. It got crowded.
We hit all the big exhibits first, which was great. It wasn't too busy yet and the kids had a great view of all the animals.
First up were the otters. These little guys are so cute and playful!
The kids loved the penguins! They were very active this morning. Every time one would pop out of the water, Guard would squeal!
Look at this cute penguin family!
Next up were the sharks! Guard adores the shark tunnel. He kept saying, "scary", but he was fascinated by it.
So many fun things to look at in the shark tunnel!
We visited the rainforest next. The kids favorite thing here is the rope bridge. Whew! It's warm in there!
And then we played with the orcas. Guard is quite bold and isn't afraid to stand up for himself. He'll take on kids a lot older and bigger than him. I'm not sure if I should be proud or concerned. Definitely, nervous.
We didn't know this was happening until we arrived at the aquarium. They were having a balloon drop at noon to celebrate new year's for the kids. We thought it would be fun to stay. It was a bit fun. The lobby was packed (it took us 20 minutes to get to the exit when it was over),the balloons didn't drop very well and it was a bit chaotic when the balloons fell.
It all ended well. The kids all eventually ended up with a balloon and we finally got out of the aquarium.
The aquarium is always fun!
Afterward, we did a bit of shopping at Ikea for Guard's room and then Greg, Enoch and Kate went to see Big Hero 6. So much fun!
