Texas State Aquarium

We took the kids to the Texas State Aquarium on day while we were in Corpus. We had a great time and they all enjoyed getting to see everything up close. I think the best part for the kids was getting to see the sharks.

This is one on my favorite pics...and it wasn't staged!

Harrison was a little scared that the shark was so close

Harrison got to volunteer for one of the shows. They made him put on heavy gloves and goggles and told him that the animal that was coming out was big, had sharp claws and smelled terrible. They then made a lot of noise in the set behind Harrison. His eyes got very large, and I thought he might run! Next, they brought out a box that said Danger in big red letters...they let the "Wild" animal out and it was an anteater. Harrison got to feed it some yogurt, he was amazed at how long it's tongue was.
