Dallas Aquarium
On Tuesday I took Ry, May, Hay and her friend Raymie to Dallas. We were going to check out the Dallas Aquarium and play at Six Flags on Wednesday. When we stepped out of the car at the aquarium's parking lot, the girls were just amazed with the big city and the murals on the buildings. They were saying ~ this is cool...this is awesome.
When we went into the entry-way...it was all jungle. Then when we stepped inside we saw baby penguins playing. The girls loved this! One would swim and wave the whole time. When we went in, it was amazing! When you walk through the rainforest, you walk through its different layers. There were different animals and aquatic life shown in the layers. Hay and I had a bird swoop right past our heads. We saw manatees from above. Monkeys playing in the trees right in front of us.
In the shark aquarium, there were so many different types of sharks swimming above us and around us. It was amazing! In another aquarium we saw HUGE manatees, fish, catfish, sea turtles. We saw a sloth sleeping in a hammock ~ that was hilarious. We saw crocs with piranhas, sting rays and manna rays. We were surprised how bright the flamingos were. We watched the lady feed the penguins fish (it smelled smelled heavily of shrimp).
Then the girls got to shop in the gift shop ~ which was fun for them! We loved the Dallas Aquarium!

That looks so much more like the aquariums on the West coast and the awesome zoo in Omaha. I wish we had gone there than the one in Tulsa a few years ago.
