Oklahoma Aquarium by Denny Lynn

For our big Saturday adventure we got to meet Jasper at the Aquarium! We were so excited to see him and go to a new fun place!

Inside we found all kinds of wonderful things to see and do! Some things we could even touch. We liked petting the starfish.

They even had a tank you could get inside of and see all the fish. It was like swimming with them!

Feeding the turtles was awesome! We each got a stick with a clothes pin on the end and some carrots to put in the clip. When  you put the carrot over the water the turtles would come! There were lots of turtles and they really liked the carrots.

John said it was like fishing, but Mama told him real quick not to be pulling the turtles out like fish! This was John's favorite part.

Jasper and I measured up against the big fish. We are pretty much the same eight now.

We found more things to see and touch, including a purple starfish I really liked.

We watched the sting rays and the little sharks swim around...

...and then we got to pet them, too! I said they felt like lotion. I reminded John not to touch the tail!

We made it just in time to see the beaver have breakfast in Ozark exhibit. She really likes fruit, just like me!

Finally we came to the sharks - we went through the tunnel a lot of times to see the sharks swimming - some of them were ginormous! 

We also liked all the shark displays - this shark head lights up to show all the sensors a shark has for detecting fish to eat. We pretended to be fish for him!

They even had shark video games to play on the screens!

They had a life size shark cage - I learned that it is for keeping the sharks OUT, not IN. It is a good thing we fit through the bars or Mama might have left us there.

John found a cool yellow and white fish - it matched his shirt!

There was so much to see and do! We kept ourselves entertained all morning.

I always look for the jelly fish. I like these that glowed blue.

We were sad when it was time to go, but we stopped for a quick ride on the alligator. The Aquarium was so much fun and it was extra special to share it with Jasper and Melissa!
