Denver Aquarium

One place I have been meaning to go to since moving to Colorado is our Aquarium. After Kara's previous post and her mentioning we had a tiger at ours I really wanted to go. We figured it would be a great place to take my friends Lindsey and Drew.

It was a rainy gloomy day on Wednesday so we figured it would be a great opportunity to get everyone out of the house but still be someplace nice and warm.

 I am not a big fan of snorkeling. It took me about 3 snorkeling experiences to realize this. Something about swimming through schools of fish the size of the picture above really freaks me out. The way their slimy little bodies rub up against your legs...ughh grosses me out.

But I love looking at them through glass!

 My favorite section, salt water fish. I love the beautiful and bright colors!

 Why hello creepy orange fish.

 Thanks to Disney's Finding Nemo, most tropical fish to me are all characters from the movie. Meet Peach, the starfish.

Dory a.k.a. Ellen DeGeneres.

And Nemo!

Truthfully, this isn't really the Nemo fish. But I couldn't get a picture of Nemo so this fish looks pretty darn close if you ask me.

 Johanna loved looking at the starfish she was fascinated by its weird little suction cups stuck against the glass.

 While at the zoo we saw a Momma and baby orangutan. At the aquarium they had a display of a fake Momma and baby so here I am attempting to fit in with my baby. Don't you love my orangutan facial expression?

 My favorite fish from our trip.

 Bad Squishy! (Finding Nemo)

We weren't able to see the tiger because there was some type of zoologist convention and they were hogging them to themselves, those greedy zoologists. However, there was an exhibit at the end where we were able to pet the stingrays.  

I loved the aquarium two thumbs up!
