The Living Planet Aquarium

When Alex and I first started dating in March we were so excited for all the fun things we could do in the summer. Tennis, hiking, REAL soccer games, Bee's games, etc.

One of the activities I was really excited for was The Living Planet Aquarium. I love aquariums. Alex has a tank with some not-goldfish fish that look like goldfish. I've named most of the them. Robert Redford has a serious crush on Big Mama. Fu and Manchu are brother and sister but do it all the time. There are others that are somewhat see through that I ignore because it freaks me out.

The aquarium is broken into types of water, we first went to the creeks and marshland.



The next section was the deep ocean. These jellyfish were SO cool. The aquarium had colored lights that make them look so awesome.



They had a penguin exhibit but those birds are so dang fast, they were just blurs on the camera and the glass was all finger smudged. We couldn't get a clear picture of them.

We were just in time for the sting ray feeding. I am not embarrassed to say I squealed like a pig every time the rays were get "excited" and breach the water. It scared me. All that flapping. Gives me the heebies. Alex was brave. But he's a guy... and a Marine.



Every aquarium has to have a nurse shark. They're so tame and boring though. There was a white tip shark in there but it swam too fast and our camera was too slow. It looked like a blur. I thought I'd spare you.


The obligatory arms length shot so you know where you were.


Just a couple random ones of just how cute we are!

I was saying something to Mara my niece. I kept it because he looks so good.


This weekend we're off to St. George for his younger brother's wedding. And yes, some of us are having a hard time that our younger siblings are all married before us.
