On Saturday we were meeting some friends for dinner and decided to do an activity with their family as well. Since we were meeting them in the area of the valley near the Living Plant Aquarium , we decided we may as well head there. As most of you know, I really, really hate fish of all sorts so it's not usually my first choice. But it had been a couple of years ago when we went with just Caleb and he liked it and we had been seeing commercials about the new exhibit they had so off we went. The only big issue was that apparently the rest of the valley had seen the commercials too. It was packed so we didn't get to spend as much time at each area as we would have liked. But we still had fun and got a ton of pics to share.
Caleb got to touch some star fish. He's says they are "bumpy" and "cute".
This is a gigantic lobster. The had seaweed that had landed on his head so it looked like he had a fro. One of the ugliest things I have ever seen. (Aunt Sue...if I could have I would have wrapped him up for the ugly gift contest cuz eeew!)
Just a seahorse swimming around.
This ugly thing (no I don't remember the name) was swimming with it's head pointed to the ground....weird.
Here's Caleb and his buddy Braxton checking out the exhibit of tropical fish.
They have sting rays in a pool that swim around. They were all kinda sleeping when we went there. so they weren't very active. They let you touch them as they swim around but most of them had positioned themselves too far in for anybody to touch.
Except this one. Mike got to touch him.
We FOUND NEMO! and Marlin and Dori. You might have to enlarge the pic to see him hiding back there.
Just more fish swimming around.
Caleb hanging by the turtle.
The turtle himself.
Part of the new exhibit had a cayman. All of the things in this exhibit are from South America.
And here's the piranha. All I could think of the entire time was Darla from Finding Nemo saying "I'm a Piranha, I live in the Am-azon." Too Funny
And the aquarium approval rating is a thumbs up from Caleb.
