The Aquarium

{18April14}

Grandma and Grandpa Johnson bought an annual pass to the aquarium. We were lucky enough to have Grandpa take a day off of work and head to the aquarium with us. It was such a BLAST!

 This otter played right in front of us forever. It was completely amazing to watch them so up close. Ej was definitely in heaven!

 Same thing with the penguins.... so cool to see them diving into the water and see them both above water and swimming through it!

 

... leaving the penguin exhibit we had a penguin walking with us :) !

  ...Making our way through the Aquarium...

 They have one of those tunnels that you walk through and is surrounded by water.... there were sharks, turtles, eels, and TONS of different fish. I think we spent almost a half hour in there just watching everything.

 grandpa & rowe watching the shark swim closer and closer and closer.....

....and then rowe totally freaked out when it got too close...

 little baby sting-ray to pet also.

They have this dark room with almost stadium like seating that you can sit and in front of it is a wall of glass. You sit there and watch all these sea creatures in the water swimming and eating. It was awesome.

 These kiddos are pretty dang lucky to have such great grandparents! They would do {and DO do} anything {and EVERYTHING}for these littles of mine. Grandma and Grandpa are always helping me and whenever i need help with anything they are there! They are a LARGE reason as to hy Rowen and I have survived his craziness. My mom is the first to come grab them and give me a break or swing dinner by if i've had a crazy day. They are amazing and have such an amazing bond with my kids.... the pictures above speaks volumes of the relationships they have together.... and nothing makes me more happy!

....and bubblegum the penguin came home with us!
