A trip to the Aquarium


It was a spur of the moment decision ~ hey, Maggie, want to go to the aquarium? OH YEAH!!!!! screamed Maggie...and within about 10 minutes, we were out the door. I had never been there so it was going to be a new experience for both of us. It ended up being a beautiful day and not too crowded, so we picked a good time to go.

We started off with the exhibit of all the fish and underwater creatures. Maggie was just so excited to see all the "fishies" and was always trying to find Nemo and Dori.


This is the face she made when she saw the huge python....


Just dying to stick her whole hand in there!


Such a beautiful tiger. Maggie really wanted to go in and pet the nice tiger.  Um, no...don't think so honey.

This girl could ride the carousel all.day.long!


Yep, that's right...my girl way up high on the ferris wheel.  NO FEAR!  We rode the ferris wheel twice!

While we had a great time and Maggie wouldn't know the difference, I do have to say that I found the aquarium itself quite disappointing and definitely over priced. However, you only do places for the first time once....I definitely recommend Moody Gardens in Galveston over the Downtown Aquarium...but my sweet girl had so much fun.

reeeeeally?!? see... i say the exact opposite!! i looooove the downtown aquarium... sooooo much. i love the atmosphere, the different rooms and sections they have- much, much better than moody gardens. it's smaller, but they pack in a whoooooole lot. so... i must protest this statement of yours!!!!
BUT i'm glad you guys had fun. and i can't believe maggie rode the farris wheel... something we didn't conquer with my kiddos when we've been there.
