The Aquarium is also at GMM!
I actually enjoyed this more than Legoland!
Above: you can see the fish all swimming in one direction. Over to the left (not pictured) there was a small group of fish trying to fight the tide and go the other direction. Their leader was out in front making his way against the tide. Only a few were able to keep up. We stood there and watched them for a while. It was interesting. Some of the fish gave up while others were trying their best to keep up...
Sweet girls!
Inside the shark tunnel! Eekk!!
Did you know that sharks can reproduce and replace their own teeth. Some up to and over 6000 per year! Wow! If they loose a tooth from the front row another tooth pushes in from the back row to replace it while their body grows another tooth!
Me with my girls! Maddie looks so interested!
Below: I snapped this photo too soon and missed it when the turtle got directly beside her!
Kate and the fish!
Silly girl!
Maddie and the fish!
She kept looking for the turtle!
Maddie and the Sting Ray! She has no idea that it got that close to her! lol...She freaked out a little bit when she saw it.
Finding Nemo....can ya see him?
A Seahorse- Did you know the males carry the babies until they are able to fend for themselves!?
Looks like we're under the ocean! Cool beans!
Petting a star fish! Maddie wasn't really interested in touching it!
We had such a good time learning about different sealife! There were so many colorful fish! It made me wanna go watch Nemo or go pick up a Nemo! :P
The lion fish were beautiful, but are very poisionous!
At the end of the tour we watched a video about an American turtle who got lost and ended up in European waters. The turtle was rescued, nursed back to health and was flown back to the United States to be released into the ocean again! It was a sweet story!
I would definately recommend the Aquarium if you visit Grapevine! :)
This was our next to the last stop before we headed home. Afterwards we went to Ikea. I heard so much about that I wanted to experience it for myself! I loved it! We did things a little backwards, but oh well! Here's a bit of advice- walk thru the showroom first! Write down what you like, then go downstairs and do your shopping! :) It will save time and confusion!
This was a nice mini-vacation! I'm looking forward to going to San Destin, Fl with family on Spring Break!
