Sharks!

We went up to Dallas last weekend for Uncle Harvey's birthday. (Technically, I guess this post should be entitled "Uncle Harvey and Sharks." But I digress.) Grandmommy and Granddad took Truman on the DART train to the aquarium, where we met up with the intrepid travelers. Uncle Harvey graciously joined us for a couple of hours on his birthday. It was a lot of fun.


The flamingo "exhibit" is one of the first stops we made. They're more orange than pink. Who knew? And they eat something that looks a lot like Purina dog chow.



Best part of the aquarium hands down was the shark and other big fish tank, which you could actually walk underneath. Check out this shark swimming right over their heads!


Seemingly oblivious to the stingray just overhead.



Sh-sh-sh-shark!


Okay, NOW he's interested.

Looks like a fun trip, I bet Truman especially loved the DART with Grand-moomy and Grand-daddy!

When Jason was in Aruba, the flamingos were white and someone said they have to eat enough shrimp to be pink. Gross!?

Thanks for sharing! I bet Truman will remember that trip for sure:)
When you come to NJ next, maybe we can go to the acquarium in Pt. Pleasant with Phoebe and Eli...that would be fun!

Love from NJ,
