A Visit to the Denver Aquarium

Today we took a field trip with Cassie and RW to the Denver Aquarium. We had a lot of fun seeing all the fish! The Aquarium is really nice and has lots of habitats set up to learn about. They even have a tiger in the jungle exhibit. After we toured the exhibits, we ate lunch in the aquarium restaurant where your table is beside the aquarium glass walls so you can watch the fish swim by your table. We saw sharks, barracudas, and many other beautiful fish. Ever wonder if the sharks in those tanks eat the other fish?? Well, they do!! Emma also got to pet sting rays! Enjoy the photos and videos! (Don't forget you can click on the pictures to enlarge them.)

McGinnis loved watching the fish, not just his reflection.



Jellyfish!!!

I love Aubie!


Grumpy gives all his grandbabies a stuffed tiger. I would be willing to bet they are all named Aubie, too! McGinnis loves to snuggle up with his Aubie!

My New Bathing Suit




Emma got a new bathing suit for Valentine's day! Here she is modeling. Thanks M, H, M & N!

Emma's School Valentine Party




Emma had a Valentine party at school on Thursday. She made her own Valentines to give to her little friends. The kids were so excited from drop off in the morning to pick up at lunch time!

McGinnis has a new sound...

McGinnis has discovered a new sound to make--He squeals like a girl! It's so funny. When he's happy, it's not unusual to hear him squealing throughout the house. He cracks us up!

Another Zoo Visit
