This past Saturday we spent a total of one hour at the Living Planet Aquarium in Salt Lake City. At $9.00 per person, I think they made some extra money off of us. The reason is twofold. One I'm sure you can infer from my AKA comment above. The other was the fact that the aquarium was super small. We went through the whole thing, and wondered where the rest of it was. So we went through the whole thing again. Yes, we went through the whole aquarium twice in one hour.
Normally, even with the small size it would have taken much longer. I like to read all the literature, and actually find all the fish they say are in each tank. On this excursion, Brennan had other ideas. I think his limit was about 6.3 seconds at each display and then off to the next one. If Jason and I did not comply, the shrieking, kicking, and flailing ensued. It was just one of those days, and nothing Jason or I did calmed the wild beast, so out to the car we went. We took our unopened picnic lunch and headed back home. Brennan has definitely started the "terrible twos." At least we got out of the house for awhile, even if the drive took most of the time. We'll try something else this weekend and hope it goes better. If not, start praying for us. We're going to Indiana in a couple weeks by plane. I already feel sorry for the people who booked the same flights as us.
Here are some pictures of our grand adventure.
Cute from a distance, but notice the crazy eyes.
Kissing the fish. He's such a boy.
Checking out the tiny jellyfish.
He looks calm, right? Yep, looks can be decieving. :)
More fishy kisses.

I don't think those fish will ever be the same.
