Oklahoma Aquarium

This past Wednesday Andrew and I were both off work so we decided to take the kids to the Oklahoma Aquarium. Hayden LOVES sharks and they have the largest living bull shark exhibit. I brought my camera but my kids did not sit still long enough to get a decent picture of them. They were either turned away or the picture was blurry.  Eh.....I got a lot of pictures of the marine life though.  Although, my battery died literally while I went to take a picture of kids in front of the big shark tank! DANGIT!! I was frustrated. But apparently nobody wants to go the aquarium on a Wednesday so we didn't have to fight to see anything and kids could just freely run..ahem..walk around. :) Here are some pictures of our trip.

 Clown fish are not as 'glowy' without their neon light overhead. Ha. It was very cool to see them like this.


 See pic above and below....blurry on my kids.

 Creeper.


 This new amazon exhibit was SO cool. If you look straight back under the tree you can see Hayden. They had a part you could go under the tree and look at the fish. And a couple little ladders to 'climb' the tree. I went in with them once to check it out and when I came out there was this old man standing there and I kind of spooked him.Like I was some kind of wizard that could walk through tanks or something.  Haha.

 I every time I put my camera up to take a picture of this little guy he would charge the glass.


 First time we have seen the beaver out of his hidey hole.
 Albino Turtle...pretty neat. Kids didn't seem to care. :/
 This was their favorite part and are still asking about it. You get to feed the stingrays and as the guy that has out the food says 'watch out for the grouper they'll take your bait and the pole with it!'
Walking trees. Something else I thought was pretty interesting. I'm sad I didn't get more pictures of the tropical fish and the sharks. Lesson learned. Before you go on a trip.....charge your battery.
