On Wednesday we went to the Aquarium up in Sandy. Most everyone could go, but we missed Katie, Shani, and their kids this time! I didnt know how Rylee would like it, but it was fun to hang out with everyone. Ella pushed Ry the whole time. She wouldnt let anyone else touch her, including me! It was pretty cute. Well, all the kids and adults had a great time. Rylee had so much fun looking at everything, and touching the sting rays. She would see them and laugh and tey to grab them. She must have her dads no fear trait! She also loved looking at the bright blue fish, and the spotted sting rays. She had so much fun that I bought a year pass! The other kids had a blast too! Spencer ( my nephew), wanted to tough the sting rays so bad, but he didnt dare. He would get really close to touching them, and then say," I cant. I cant." Then he would turn back and say, " I need to touch them. I need to touch them." I finally just grabbed his hand and put it on one of the rays. He was so excited. He turned and said, " I did it! I cant do it again!" He is so funny. It was also his birthday today, so we celebrated it with him for the first time. My niece MaKenna loves anything and everything! She spent the whole time pretty much touching all the sea creatures... sting rays, starfish, urchants, and other slimy things! She wasnt scared at all, she just stuck her hand right in. I love it! I tried to get pictures of everyone today, but didnt do a very good job! It was a blast... I cant way to go back!
Between these first two pictures there is a good one of everyone.
Mom and Ry
The cousins that were there today
Everyone enjoyed seeing and/or touching the sting rays.
I took a picture of Abby and Kenna in front of the octopus. All of a sudden I hear a lady say, "NO FLASH!" I didnt know she was talking to me until she got in my face and said it again in the most annoying voice I have evr heard. Let me just type you our conversation...
Me: What?
Lady: NO FLASH
Me: What?
Lady: No Flash
Me: What are you talking about?
Lady: Can you read?
Me: Ya
Lady Then NO FLASH
She proceedes to point at screen that no where does it say No Flash. It tells facts about the octopus.
Me: It doesnt say anything
Lady: Do you not respect our marine life?
Me: Ya
I wanted to say, " If I love seafood, is that respecting it?"
Lady: Then you would not take a picture of these animals. You are going to blind them!
Really lady? These creatures are in a 2x2 box with water and fake coral and your worried about blinding them?
Me: You need to calm down. Nothing is going to happen. Calm it down lady. Calm it down!
Lady: *sigh* No, I wont, these are creatures.
Me: Ya, I know. Leave me alone
Lady: No Flash
Me: If you are going to tell me NO FLASH, why dont you go tell the 50 people in front of us, and the bus full of kids coming around the corner the same thing?
She walked off furious !
Something was about to go down today at the aquarium!
I saw her the rest of the time I was there, and always said who wants to go take a picture by the octopus?!
Sayla stood there and watched the fish swim by. It was so cute.
Spencer wanted a picture by the shark. You cant really see the shark, but its there!
Thanks for going everyone... it was so much fun!
