Claire visited the Living Planet Aquarium over Memorial Day last month for the very first time. I had all sorts of activities planned to do over the holiday weekend but since we had torrential rain storms, they all got cancelled. The only indoor place I (as well as everyone else that lives nearby) could think of was the aquarium. It was really busy, but people were very generous to move out of the way so Claire's little eyes could see the animals.
Her favorite part of the day was touching the sting ray. I was anxious for her to touch them but was not anticipating their bodies coming half way out of the tank each time they would swim by. I've never seen them do that before. Their skin was so slimy, but obviously Claire didn't mind. She loves touching animals and sticking her hands in water is even more fun.
Along with the adorable penguins, my favorite were the jelly fish. Erik and I often talk about how some day we would like a giant tank filled with jelly fish (like in the movie "Seven Pounds"). They are so interesting to watch!

It's so great that you are encouraging Claire to love God's creations as much as you do. What great parents you are. I love the silhouette picture.
That looks like a lot of fun. Our kids are all terrified of the sting rays. Ashlyn finally did this past year:)
