The Aquarium

The next day we went to the aquarium in Houston--I remember driving by it when we came out here on a whim (lived in hotel for 2 months while John interviewed) because the freeway goes right through it. It was actually very fun--the aquarium was nice and cool inside, and at the very end was a huge awesome white tiger!! and it either wanted to eat, or play with Lucas :)

 These are appropriately called "lookdowns"...they do look a little depressed.

 Susan has more than a lil captain in her.haha

 She really wanted to take some of this booty

 The gay piranhas--they had glittery sequins. 

 Legends of the hidden temple!

 Dork.

 Lucas loved touching the ray as it waved and swam around.

 Olivia didn't. Norman was seeing if the horseshoe ray was a hardshell.

 Olivia and Susan checking out the rays underneath.

 I didn't get any clear pictures of the real white tiger, but video to come---so cool! wanna go back!

 Then we went on the shark voyage train. There was a cool tank we stopped under to watch. This is actually not a shark--it's a sawfish. Looks so happy!

 Then we rode the ferris wheel. Was fun to see the Houston skyline.

 And the carousel a couple times, then it was too hot to stay out any longer.

 Next we headed over to the nearby Children's musuem.

Check out the awesome video---the white tiger is so pretty--and wants Lucas for dinner!
