Aquarium

So I was going to post yesterday, but then I realized that all my pictures from the Aquarium with my friend Julia somehow got erased. I am VERY sad about it and originally decided not to post, but I have since changed my mind. I am going to tell you about the Aquarium now because I will be going back with Micah and will take more pictures then that will not somehow get erased. The Living Planet Aquarium is located in Sandy, Utah and is so much fun. I was surprised by the variety they had. It starts out with a part about living things in Utah which was kind of boring but at the same time kind of cool. I was nervous about it at this point because Julia was visiting from AZ and it was the first time I had seen her in a long time and the first time I saw her baby so I didn't want it to be a waste of time dragging her baby around. It soon got cool though with the different type of jellyfish, even the kind that changes colors, and a huge octopus. I won't tell you everything that was there, but my favorite part was with the penguins. I did not realize how fast penguins can swim. They were zooming around the tank and diving in from the ground above. It was REALLY cool. After the penguins was an exhibit called "Journey to South America" with some other really cool creatures. Anyway, if you haven't been I encourage you to go. Micah and I will be going soon and I will post pics then so you can see a little bit better just how cool it was. :)

  1. The aquarium is pretty cool, huh? We haven't been back since they added the penguins, but we've seen everything else. P.S. I'm pretty sure the jellyfish change colors because the lights they have in that tank change colors ;) Check again the next time you go back.

  2. That could be what it was, but I know that there are jellyfish that actually change colors. I've seen them on planet earth, or maybe it was blue planet. Haha. I don't remember. :)
