Today, Wesley and I took Mia over to Fair Park to the Children's Aquarium for the first time. They just reopened last fall after extensive renovations, so we were eager to see the new exhibits. It's on a much smaller scale than the Dallas World Aquarium that we've taken her to a couple of times, but it was still very fun for her. She didn't stay in the stroller long because she wanted to explore. She would run up to each tank and look inside. I love her curiosity. The only two things that creeped her out were the sharks and manta rays. Can you blame her? They kind of give me the creeps too, but they're still fun to watch. We watched them feed the sharks and manta rays. Then, Wesley took Mia over to a different pool with sting rays that you can touch, but Mia would have none of that. She was very much in a look but don't touch kind of mood. We all give the Children's Aquarium two thumbs up!
Ready to go see the fish!
We saw some Dallas landmarks on the way into Fair Park such as the Texas Star ferris wheel...
and the Cotton Bowl where the OU/TX football game is played every year.
At the aquarium, Mia had to check out the albino alligators.
Looking at turtles
Liked the hermit crabs but wouldn't touch them.
More turtles (they were a favorite)
Taking a break
Smiling at a stingray that waved a fin at her.
