The Shark Reef

The Shark Reef is always an adventure...starting with this cool projection on the wall. If you don't touch it , it is this nice still picture...but touch it and it looks like the water is moving.Tatem running her hand along it while the water flows over The III

The III's taking his turn...look his arm disappeared right into the picture

After playing in the water we head into the reef...look the kids are already at the top.

Look how excited TerrieBeth and Tim are ;o)

First stop...ok it wasn't the first stop...but it was the one The III was most excited about seeing and now I can't remember the name...It is a huge lizard.

They are listening to the fun details of the critter Kimono Dragon...yeah that is what it is.

I had them put there hand up to show how big this fish was

Inside the tube!!!

TerrieBeth taking pictures...well she is when she is not looking at Fish, Sharks, etc...

There she is again...mid picture...The III doesn't know where to look so much going on...and then there is Grandpa ;o)

Another fun part is the...hum I don't remember the name...what was it??? Oh well it is where you get to touch sharks and sting rays, starfish. Here is 3 of them looking at them..

If you look close you can see Tatem's finger is out ready to touch something...but yeah she isn't going to get to close.

Tim being brave and touching a sting ray...

Terriebeth going for it....hopefully The III doesn't fall in.

They crack me up...look at them they get closer to the water every picture ;o)

Wow that is cool...and yes Tatem's finger is still ready to try...

Watching it swim away

TerrieBeth showing them how...The III is getting closer

Missed that one....

Ok lets try the big one...look all three hands in the water...

Ok right now, here at home I'm rolling on the floor and laughing....out of the 3 of them...The III and TerrieBeth touched it...but.....

This is so hard to type when I'm laughing so hard....he didn't like the way it felt...slimy...so he shook his hand off and it went right in TerrieBeth's face...man I must be tired...there is tears in my eyes...sorry TerrieBeth... I love the look on his face!!

Tatem is upset because she didn't get to touch it!!!

Ok here I go again...look at JT's face!!! Ain't no way he is doing that any more...Tatem waiting for another chance. I need to go to bed!

Just laughing now.... Sorry JT..not to mention Tatem's finger.

Ok here comes one...put you hand in the water.

Yeah she missed it but TerrieBeth didn't...JT is getting closer.

Just looking

Ok I'm doing better now...ha,ha,ha!!! Oops there it goes agian...Here they are just waiting.

TerrieBeth dunking her in the water so she can reach it

I had to do a close up so you could see how close she is getting ;o)

These are some of the ones we got to touch...some stayed in the middle where you couldn't reach them

Here comes the big one again ...did we touch it???

I think we did....

One last try!

Thanks for the laughs 5 months later. You all are awesome!!!
