Riley and Avery

Alright, the pictures of the Denver Aquarium. Avery was grumpy from the moment she woke up that morning and wanted nothing other than to see the tigers (yes, our aquarium has tigers!) and was a royal turd until we finally got to the tigers. Geez. Riley wanted more than anything to feed the stingrays.

Once we got to the sting rays, Avery decided that she wanted to feed them too. She didn't mind touching the dead fish (although she wasn't leaping for joy over it either), she picked them up by the tail, but would not touch the water. No way. Kinda weird. Dead fish vs. water. I think I'd choose water, but whatever. She dropped the fish in and when they floated to the bottom, the sting rays swam over them and sucked them up. That is, when the boys standing next to us didn't scoop Avery's fish out of the water so that they could feed the rays. I'm like "buy your own damn fish and stop touching hers!" Some people's children...We got to the rays right after lunch time, and as the rays are right next to the foot court, I think they were all fed out with all the people gathering there. The last time we went they were practically leaping out of the pool for food.
