The Age of Aquarium

Today was the last full day to enjoy the grand kids and Galveston. 

It was another beautiful sunrise and a very nice day. 

We started out the day with a trip to the Moody Garden's Aquarium.

The Rock Fish below seemed to be dead and just hanging in the plant, but that's actually what they do according to the description around this exhibit.

This is a leopard shark.

Sea Turtles

 

Sea Horses

SHARKS!

They were feeding the fish and using this PVC sticks to keep the sharks away.

The penguins are such a strange bird!  They seem so clumsy out of the water and then so buoyant in the water you wonder how they dive down, at all.

The above was my favorite display.

Carter, Barry, Collin, Kyra, Tana, Cooper and Craig

Below in the Hotel they all stayed in and we so enjoyed.

We went for our last day to the beach.  It was a little cooler, but sunny.  Cooper built this huge sand castle... I helped a bit.

There was a game of sand football, too.

And a nice walk along the beach with Tana and Kyra looking for sea shells.

Three generations.

Kyra was getting down the Skim Board

There was a passing fishing boat today.

We said our good-byes as they will head back to Colorado by air first thing tomorrow and we move up the road to New Braunfels.

Please be praying for our dear friends the Valentines.  Jim had aneurysm surgery today and things are very touch and go for the next several days.

Blessings,

Kathy
