Seaquest Aquarium

Rebekah:

We went to visit a new aquarium today and it was such an amazing experience.  We have seen a few aquariums before, but this one was special because we actually got to touch and play with the animals.

One of the first things we did was go into the bird enclosure.  We had some food for the birds to eat and they were so excited.  I couldn't believe how they were flying all around us.  It was amazing!








We also saw lots of different iguanas of various sizes.

When we were walking around we ran into this giant turtle.  We even got to feed him!


These are baby capybaras.  They are only 11 weeks old  - a set of brothers.  They were very soft.

Feeding the ducks was crazy.  Their bills kept pressing against our hands for the food.  We giggled so much!



The stingrays were crazy.  There were two tanks and this first one below (picture of Hannah) had this big guy named Bossy.  You can see Bossy in this picture.  He finally came up to eat out of Hannah's hand and then splashed all over the side of the tank.  Hannah was totally soaked.  She came back to feed them again a bit later and the exact same thing happened.  Bossy is soooo bossy!!

Dance Recital

Rebekah:

I love to dance.  We have enjoyed the past few months taking dance classes at this wonderful place and it has been amazing.  To finish off the semester, we got to perform in our very first dance recital.  Not only was it fun, but I did fantastic!  Hannah got to perform as well and she did great.  Enjoy!

Here is Hannah in "Silent Night"



Here I am in "Deck the Rooftop"





Of course we took lots of pictures afterwards.  Mommy and Daddy didn't know they were supposed to bring us flowers.  Oops!
