A day at the Denver Aquarium.
Bill had the day off today & we decided to do some fun family stuff. We've wanted to go hiking at Dinosaur Ridge, but the weather has been "unsettled". That pretty much means the meteorologists have no clue as to what to predict. So because there was a high "chance" of rain, we did something inside.

We were going to go to the Denver Children's Museum because I had read about an exhibit for newborns & infants. After Bill looked at it, we think it will be more fun for all of us when Logan learns how to crawl. So it was off to the aquarium.

There were all sorts of animals to look at. My favorite were the river otters that kept doing back flips & running all around. There were tons of different kinds of fish, from fresh water rivers to a huge ocean tank full of eels & sharks. Logan loved it! He watched the otters play, stared at the fish in all of the tanks, watched the sting rays eat from other kids hands (& swim up to us because they though we had food too) & he was actually talking to us in excitement when some of the fish would pass by. He even got a little freaked out when we were looking at the HUGE sharks that swam by.

We had so much fun & I couldn't believe Logan was so into it! It was great to show him all of the cool fish & animals & watch him learn. His brain cells must have been going haywire with all of the information to process. We're totally going to go again sometime soon (maybe when the grandparents come for a visit).

Oh, how fun! I haven't taken Lilly to the aquarium yet. She's just now starting to really absorb the world around her, so maybe now is a good time (especially with all this texas heat).

I wish we had an aquarium closer to where we live. It sounds like you guys had a lot of fun.
