:: Dinner at Lupe Tortilla with Rob and the cute little mexican BFF Amanda -
I know, I've totally been spoiled with Lupe twice already this year!
:: Game Night with the Landrums and Rob's little Bro - Scott!
Well - the aquarium is the only part that I have pics of so - that's what the rest of the blog is about!
THE DOWNTOWN AQUARIUM ADVENTURE!
:: In the actual aquarium part we saw your typical aquatic type creatures along with a parrot and a tiger! The highlights of the attraction included:
A touch tank
which Analee got up close and personal with!
There was also deep sea diving
A Tiger Attack!
- and really though - the tiger literally jumped up on the glass to maul Christi. I was too busy screaming like a little girl to get a picture of the actual attack - but I feel the above photo depicts a fair representation :)
Apparently the tiger didn't think Christi was very Tasty
We ended the aquarium tour with a trip through the gift shop. Now, just about any where you go with Analee and David ends up being something hilarious and the gift shop was no exception.
David found a little shark puppet on a stick type thing and pretty much made his own documentary about it preying on innocent animals... at least he included himself :)
Fully intending to get our $5 worth - we headed outside to check out the rides!
We had all been desperately looking forward to the Shark Voyage Train Ride so that was first on the list!
Seeing all of the unexcited faces coming off of the train ride - you would never have thought it would have turned out to be the highlight of our day!
This guy here caused quite the memories! Apparently he reminded Analee and Christi and David of the guffaw-ing shark from Strange Wilderness. If you don't know what I'm talking about - imagine a sort of buck-toothed hillbilly hearty chuckle... or you can find it here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctiJ_GCuc4U
This chuckle went on literally for the rest of the day... a huh huh huh!
Near the end of the train ride there was a surprise shark attack from mechanical shark that nearly had all six of us jumping off the train! When I say surprise - I mean surprise!! It startled the crap out of us! Now, if the above mentioned noises didn't have us in a silly enough mood already - the ridiculousness of the shark attack really had us going! We pretty much laughed for the rest of the afternoon. I just didn't understand why the other people coming off the train before us weren't at least smiling!
OK - enough of that...
so we ended the day with Ferris Wheel and Carousel Rides :)
and ended up with some cute souvenir photos as well :)
