SHARK!

One of the many things we've wanted to do since we've come to Las Vegas is go to the Shark Reef aquarium at the Mandalay Bay hotel. This last Saturday we decided we needed some fun family time and went to check it out.

Obviously the kids LOVED it. It's not a huge place but they have some really cool fish and sharks.


This was in the gift shop after we went through and of course the kids found all kinds of things they wanted to get, and will be saving their money so they can go back and get them. Quinton thought this hat was great.


They had a tank full of Jelly Fish, really cool.



They had a tank of sting rays and horseshoe crabs you could touch (the sting rays didn't sting)
Weiland was the only one brave enough to touch one, even reached this giant one.



At the end is this huge tanks with two tunnels that you can sit under and watch the sharks swim by. They had lots of other fish in there as well as three sea turtles (who we didn't see because they were hiding or sleeping we were told). They also had a saw shark which I couldn't get a good picture of but it was amazing. We'll certainly be going back again and the kids can't wait to take cousin's and grandparents to see the sharks.

The boys would have loved that. Thats a must when we come. That first picture of Quinton, looked a lot like Weiland, I couldn't tell which one it was for a minute. So fun. Bryn wanted to go to Hollands house today and see Tiff too.
