Newport Aquarium

Saturday we went to Newport KY to the aquarium for Dougs birthday. We had a great time. I could have stayed there for hours and hours. Here are a few pics:

Waiting in line to get into the aquarium

Daddy and Alex walking through the aquarium

One of Mommy's favorite freshwater fish

Red belly piranas
One of the two adult shark rays (half sting ray, half shark). There is also a baby in another part of the aquarium

Penguins! Alex's favorite part that we had to see twice

Petting the sharks. I could have stayed here forever

Alex checking out a very large frog

Some kind of toad that Alex called poop. I like the one in the back that was taking a shower

Mommy feeding the birds nectar

A very very big anaconda.. yes that is one snake. Daddy liked this guy

Mommy and Alex watching the penguins swim

one of the many sharks

The last and mommy's most favorite part. You could go on top of the aquarium and look down inside it. This is the shark ray... I wanted to put on scuba gear and jump in sooo bad

A better picture of the shark ray looking down into the aquarium through a net. It was absolutely beautiful

Sweet-Pea was sooo worn out. She was asleep within 5 minutes with her new penguin
