Today we were able to go the Denver Aquarium. It was our first visit. Being in a land locked state we didn't really know what to expect. Aaron and I have been to aquariums on both the East coast and the West coast. This one wasn't too bad though. It was not huge and we were through it in about an hour and a half. That was with a lot of stopping and just looking at things. We didn't hurry at all. It was nice though.They had a couple of things that we didn't expect. They had an exhibit with four real life tigers. They were right at the glass. You can't get much closer than this without being in danger of being eaten. All the parents in the area did take a double take to make sure that the glass wall was high enough. It was and on top of the glass they also had netting. It would be next to impossible for those tigers to get out.
They also had the requisite Dori and Nemo fish. These were the only reason that Caleb went to the aquarium. He did not like the flashflood exhibit. I guess he thought he was going to be washed away. He also felt that the place was much to loud. Campbell got to touch the rays so she was happy.
After visiting the fish we went out to lunch. Because the Italian restaurant we went to was not busy, we got to sit in the kitchen booth to eat. Sitting in this booth you can watch them cook your food. The kids thought this was very cool. We will just ignore the minor choking incident. (Caleb turned blue and everything.)
After lunch we went to a large store that sells outdoor gear. We didn't get anything but we sure did make our wish list.

So, I'm not getting the tigers at the aquarium thing, but whatever. By the way, the new lion exhibit at our zoo is a glass enclosure. They also come right up to you. It's kinda freaky, but very cool. We finally got the giraffes (next to the lions). They are also quite awesome.
