We stayed very busy this past week! We started it out by visiting the Dallas World Aquarium with Zena Foi on Tuesday. The last aquarium Krish had been to was the Montery Bay Aquarium in Monterey, CA when he was 5 months old! Krish also has so much fun with Zena Foi, so he had a fabulous time here, to say the least!
This aquarium was very different, too. It was designed to make you feel like you are traveling through a rain forest! There were more animals to see than just marine life. There were primates, tropical birds, bats, sloths, and even a jaguar, to name a few! Krish definitely had a blast! He got excited to see the bats since we have been talking a lot about Halloween this month, and they reminded him of Halloween bats. He loved the shark tank and couldn't wait to see the sharks! He was intrigued by the pink flamingoes and jaguar, and he loved getting to feed some of the tropical birds right out of his hand! Another unique aspect to this aquarium that we were all impressed by was that some of the animal exhibits were not even caged! For instance, the sloths were just hanging on trees right in front of us! You could touch them if it was allowed.

We all had such a great time visiting the zoo-like aquarium. Thank you to Zena Foi for suggesting such a fun outing for all of us to take together! :)
Wow, this looks awesome! Keshav would love it...we're going there next time we come for sure! :)
