Last Saturday my sister and I took her little girl Lexi (short for Alexis) to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. I'd been there once before with Riley when we were engaged but my sister and niece had never been. Lexi loves the small fish in the tank at their house so we were pretty sure she liked it.
I love the open pool with the stingrays that you can touch. My sister Kelly chickened out and wouldn't touch them but I thought it was cool. They are so slimy except for their backbone and tail which is rough and bumpy.
Some of my favorite things we saw were the sea horses......
the jellyfish....
and the octopus.
I think Lexi's favorite part was the kids area in the ocean exhibit. There were tons of little tanks of fish built into the giant fake coral tunnels.
All of us had a lot of fun and Lexi even got a stuffed stingray souvenir. I think we'll definitely have to go back when they finish the penguin exhibit.
