Wednesday while Bill was at school we went to the aquarium. It was okay. I guess I am comparing it to the Monterey Bay Aquarium which is one of the best in the entire world. Addi and Landon had a great time. We got to see other animals that were native to the wetlands around there. The highlight was surely getting to touch the stingrays!
The Sharks
Doing a little deep sea diving...they had this set up like you were in a submarine and I asked Landon where we were going and he said "Gama's house".
We actually saw a pod of dolphins in the ocean which was cool. They don't have any here...just a fake one!
We are really spoiled to live in Omaha because I think our zoo and aquarium was just as good as this one! I am surely an Omaha lover!!
The coolest thing ever...touching the sting rays! They would get close and Landon would just squeal!
Addison with her newest pet seal "Celia" she thought it was okay if there were two Celia's!
We met Bill for lunch and had a picnic by this lake right on the base. It was so peaceful and the kids had a blast running around finding "nature things" as Addi called them.
Aquarium part two...after we dropped Bill off at work we went back to see the other building. There was a sea otter and that was about it. But the kids did get to feed the birds.
This bird had a gotten frostbite and only had one foot that was good. The guy was feeding him by hand. Addison of course did the same thing. He was feeding him some kind of worms..alive of course...yuck!
Then came the live crickets...and Landon had to help.
What really did me in were the frozen mice...they just threw the stuff out for the birds...I was completely disgusted! Bill and I weren't sure whose kids these were? We surely wouldn't have touched ANY of that!
