Denver Aquarium

The Denver Aquarium is the third largest Aquarium in the United States. From sea otters to jelly fish, we were impressed.
A baby sting ray pressed up against the glass.

The sea otters were our family favorite. They were very active and fun to watch!
We even got to see them eat their lunch......dead fish.....yum!
The sharks were the scariest sharks we have ever seen...at ANY aquarium!!!
Tiger sand sharks. They looked like they were right out of the movie Jaws, with beady eyes and the longest, sharpest teeth. They made all of us a little nervous.
The worlds largest flower is the rafflesia. It grows naturally in Indonesia. My sister Amy and I had the opportunity to travel to Indonesia in 1995. We didn't see any rafflesia's while we were there, but they did have one growing at the Denver Aquarium.

Ella LOVED the pink fish!

It was a fun day.....and a really neat Aquarium.
