I was pretty skeptical of the Idaho Aquarium, I mean come on, we aren't even close to the ocean and it's Idaho. Well we went and it was surprisingly fun. It is very hands on, small but was great. I guess they are just getting started and it isn't the nicest of aquariums, I mean come on I am used to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, so this was like nothing but we had a great time and it was pretty fun.
This is the fish touching pool. I have never seen something like this, you really just stick your hands in and touch the fish. If you see the sign behind Nick it identifies each fish and next to one of the fish is a sign that says I BITE so Taylor was pretty paranoid about that little guy. It was kind of funny because Nick wanted that fish to come close so he could touch it and it was sort of playing with him (swimming fast back and forth towards him) and when Taylor saw it coming she grabbed Nick's had and pulled it out and screamed "DADDY WATCH OUT!!!"
Garden eels from Octonauts.
Shark eggs. You could actually see the embryos moving. It was insane.
Shark and Ray pool. This was awesome. I loved it. The rays were so active and Taylor loved them.

Taylor touched every shark, the hammer head, black tips and the brown and white spotted.
Oh and we got to feed them. That was pretty fun.
I hate these things, ugh!
not the greatest picture, sorry honey!
Best picture! Christmas Card? Even graham is playing the part!
Blurry, thanks honey!
Goofy kids by the turtle.
Graham loved these birds. They are the puffins, and would dive and swim right past him.
Feeding the birds. Taylor was nervous, very uncharacteristic of her so it was kind of frustrating that she wouldn't hold the food on her own.
and the dumb bird pecked her toe.
My handsome boys!
