Aquarium Kind of a day!

We ain't scared of no sharks!

I had heard mixed reviews about the Oklahoma Aquarium so when my mom asked if she could take us this week I expected it to be just an 'ok' place. PUN intended. wok wok

Jon and I both thought it was a great day, and not just because of the awesome company we were with, but also because the place was actually pretty cool.

Anywhere that has a tunnel I can walk through with numerous Bull Sharks swimming beside, up, and around me, can't be too bad!

The kids all watched the sea horses (my fave), sharks, turtles, sting rays. 

Feeding the snapping turtles... If you hold the food up a little high, they will all snap their little mouths at it and climb all over each other to get to the food! a lot like humans do! ha

The ones up on the branches were the passive aggressive turtles apparently. Jon kept calling them the elderly and trying to feed them. but then they'd end up falling off the branches into the water so we'd feel bad.

Now the coral reef dive could have been a dud, but the dive girl was great.

She first fed the fish in the tank. zzzzz

but then she came back over and was insisting that we get pictures with her, so Brittany had her phone handy and got these lovely goodies.

As you can see in the next picture, Jaxson was more interested in looking at her than he was at being in the picture. In fact, based on the fact that he stared at her the entire time she was hanging out with us... someone was smitten!

We teased him about it later and he of course confessed. 

ha

We were none too happy that Ashton had cheer practice all week and couldn't join us, but we did manage to have a great day without her! Even Zander had himself a wonderful time despite the 106 degree temps outside..yikes.  

Love our family!
