The Aquarium

Sick of cabin fever on Sunday, we decided to get out of the house and head down to Galveston to visit the Aquarium at Moody Gardens. We weren't quite sure how the kids would do on this trip (Duncan and Ella weren't as interested as we'd hoped they'd have been when we went last year), but they ended up really enjoying it.

Duncan, in particular, seemed quite fascinated with it all. I think he'd have sat in the South Atlantic and Carribean Exhibits for hours if we'd let him. Who knows, maybe we have a future marine biologist on our hands. Wouldn't that be fun?!?

We have some fun pictures of all of the kids up against this wall from the time they were about Stuart's size. They have so much fun seeing how much they've grown each time they go back.

There was a great Sharks in Depth Exhibit that we all checked out. We learned how sharks sense prey through vibrations and smell, how sharks come in all shapes and sizes, and we even got to see a live shark incubating in an egg (and yeah, that amazed both Jeffrey and I too).
