Aquarium

(July 31)  After we got lunch, we headed over to the new Living Planet Aquarium.  It was amazing!  It is brand new, so everything is still nice, and the exhibits are all so well done.  We really enjoyed it here.




Can you see the octopus?

Shark feeding time






Violet liked these little frogs







Penguin feeding time






The otters were very cute








Sting-ray touch pool.  Poor creatures...



This shark tunnel was easily the coolest part of the aquarium.  Kind of cool/freaky to have sharks swimming all around you.









Wheeler Farm

We decided to do another "staycation" the end of July.  We got a hotel room in Draper and then spent 3 days doing fun things nearby.  Thursday morning (July 31) we went to Wheeler Farm.  Admission is free and the wagon ride was only $2.00 per person.  Not bad.  And the kids like to see the animals, especially Violet.

There was some kind of summer camp going on while we were there, and these girls were braiding the horses' manes with the kids in summer camp.  It was fun to watch.
