Living Planet Aquarium - July 11

Kaylee has one really good friend from her old school that she has kept in contact with, they were in classes together for 3 years at school. They wrote to each other while we lived in Hawaii, and then they still wrote once we got back to Utah. We were finally able to set something up so the girls could get together and play again. We went to the aquarium and met up with Jessica, her brother Jack, and her mom. Kaylee and Jessica just picked up like they had seen each other yesterday. They had so much fun seeing each other again. The girls favorite area was the sting ray pool. The sting rays were extremely active because it was almost feeding time. They were even going up the sides of the pool. It was pretty cool. We have never seen them that active.

When the people came over to feed the sting rays it got way to crowded and instead of staying to watch we decided to move on to the other areas of the aquarium. We went over to the play area for a bit where the kids crawled through coral reef tunnels, then they played in a little boat.

We went over to the penguin exhibit, and the penguins were pretty active too. We sat and watched the penguins dive, swim, and waddle around before finishing up through the rest of the exhibits.

After we left the aquarium we went over to The Sweet Tooth Fairy to get cupcakes and treats. Kaylee was asking as soon as we left when we could go play with Jessica again.
