The new and improved Loveland Aquarium

Kristen and I took Jaxson and Cameron to the new aquarium location on Saturday. It was crowded! There was a ridiculous line just to buy tickets to get in- which are outrageously priced. Kristen's mom got them a membership though so we didn't have to pay! 
The facility is quite neat though, and they didn't even have all of the exhibits open and ready! They have an atrium and aviary where they boasted many water fowl and tropical toucans. There were a variety of bugs- I didn't look at any of those. 
There were penguins, jellyfish, sharks, fish: native to utah as well as tropical varieties. There was a sea urchin and sea star exhibit where you could touch them, along with some stingrays.
There were river otters which were silly to watch. 
My favorite and Cam's favorite was the shark tunnel. It was neat to walk through and have sharks and fish swimming all around and over you and to see all the varieties of coral. 




Like our gray stormy sky in the background!? Yesterday was yucky, cold weather!




Here is Cam watching the sharks swim over!!!




It was a very fun outing! The boys enjoyed it.

Looks like fun! It's way more fun to do those things when they are able to look around and take things in than little new babies :)
