Aquarium

So we finally made it, as a family out to the aquarium today. Brayden was a little disappointed that the beluga whales were "asleep" (or in texas while the new dolphin exhibit is being constructed, either way). You should have seen his eyes "light up" when he got there though, watching the big fish right at the beginning.



Had some camera problems so we weren't able to quite "catch" the moment (I am just too funny).

Here is a better picture of brayden and mommy taking in the fisheys, or what mommy likes to call, dinners...



And here's is the first of several attempts at a pic of B through one of the tanks, stupid dinners...



ok, although blurry, this one worked out pretty well...



he used to captain a little ship called the minow, that was before they took his captain's license away...



(guess we need to adjust our red-eye settings on the camera)

brayden pointing out the rhincodon typus, or whale shark to you and I, to daddy...



then we realized we didn't have any pictures of Riley, so we took this one. You can tell we are at the aquarium by hair on my second chinny chin chin...



and here are mommy and brayden at the "pet the rays exhibit"...



(there was a special promotion going on today, all tattoo'd Amish lumberjacks get in free)

Here mommy shows brayden the proper 2 finger method of petting the rays...



And here, brayden has mistaken this exhibit for the "Feed the Rays" exhibit...



Brayden thought that was hilarious, he ran over and told me "I touched it". Such a fun day at the aquarium, and we managed to make it back home with all 40 fingers and 40 toes, barely.
