Downtown Aquarium



We went on Saturday the 21st. Mallory played in the water fountain and loved it. We took a train ride through the park. They took us under their shark tank. Mallory was not to sure at first. Philip was able to convince her the sharks could not get her. They talked on the tour about a great white shark getting lost in the bayou. So, of course, around the corner there is a pond setting with a fishing house and a white shark jumps up and sprays water on you. Mallory did laugh at that. We then went into the aquarium. They had a lot of good things to look at. Mallory liked the fact there were snakes. She was determined to show them to me. I was not about to stand there and look at them with her. I would spot the snakes and move to the other side of the room. About five feet. Not far, but not right beside them either. We made our way through the aquarium to the "maharajah's temple". They have two real white tigers. It took a lot of convincing to get Mallory to stand next to the glass wall. She did it, but not to get the picture I wanted. I did get a picture so I am glad. We finished the day with the three other rides. We rode the carousel twice and the Ferris wheel. Mallory and Philip rode the other ride not sure what it was called. It would lift you up then drop you and you would bounce about three or four time. It whet through a set about three times.( I would have been sick.) Mallory and Philip had a good time.


Mallory would not touch the sting rays.
