Field Trip

Chad and I just bought season passes to the Aquarium here in SLC. Odd place to have an aquarium I know but it was pretty cool and we figured Tristan would like it especially as he gets older. And since paying twice pays for a season pass, we just bought the pass.

Here's Tristan in front of the Anaconda's tank. He loved watching all the fish swim around. His favorite was the Shark tank. We sat and watched the sharks and sting rays swim around for at least 5 minutes and he was enthralled the whole time. He kept touching the glass whenever one would swim by the window. We'll definitely be going back again and once he gets a little bigger he can touch the sting rays in the touch pool (they feel like wet suede).

The location of the aquarium in Sandy used to be a Smiths and then a Macs craft store. It was a cheaper and bigger location than Gateway where they used to be. The plan is for a big one Salt Lake when enough money is raised.

I'm glad you guys had fun. I've heard they have some new exhibits since we last took the girls there. If you are ever up my way you should check out the Treehouse Museum. Tristan would love all the hands on exhibits that are just his size.
