Oklahoma Aquarium

Daddy & Kade watching stingrays

Jake and I took Kade to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks today. Kade had a really good time! He loved to watch the fish swimming around in the tanks. He especially liked watching the stingrays and was trying to climb into the tank with them!

Daddy & Kade looking at fish

He would just watch the fish and point at them and say, "Oh!" Then when we moved on to another tank, he would cry to go back to the last one. I tried really hard to get him to say fish. But all he would say was bubbles!

Kade listening to a waterfall

Here we were watching raccoons, and there was a waterfall making a lot of noise right across from them. Kade thought that was neat!

Daddy & Kade watching fish

Here is more fish watching. He was scared of the bigger fish though. I would try to set him up on the ledge around the tank, so he could see better. But he didn't like that. He had a death grip on my arm at all times! One time he was pointing at a fish through the glass, and it swam right up to his finger. He jerked it away real quick and started whining. I guess he thought it was going to "get him".

Kade touching a starfish

Here Kade got to touch a starfish. It was at the bottom of a little pool. I think he liked playing in the water more than anything! He also cried when we left this exhibit too. His favorite things were the stingrays and turtles. One other funny thing, we were looking into a tank with colorful sea urchins, and it had one brown, very plain, fish. What caught Kade's attention? The brown fish. He didn't care one bit about the pretty, colorful sea urchins! We had a lot of fun watching Kade discover new things!
