The Denver Aquarium

"How many are Your works, O LORD!  In wisdom You made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.  There in the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number - living things both large and small."  Psalm 104:24-25

We went to the Denver Aquarium close to noontime.  Not only were tickets on sale over that time period, but the animals were quite active!  And fewer people too, since it was lunch time.  

Before we entered the building, there was a talk about porcupines outside.  Porcupines?  Didn't think there'd be mammals at the aquarium.  I didn't know they were so large!  I don't believe I've ever seen one before.

It was feeding time for the creatures; not only the sea creatures.

The otters were swimming back and forth....one of Tenley's favorite animals!  See, she has Mr. Otter in her arms.

Looks like he is smiling!

This orangutan moved and "spoke".  We think Tenley thought she was real.

Sure, tigers belong at an aquarium, right?  I'm glad they were!

There is a secret play room at the aquarium.  Mindy read about it and the girls enjoyed the time there.

When we left the building, there was a demonstration of an owl!  This guy's eyes are orange and they have named him Pumpkin.

WHOOO would think we'd see an owl at an aquarium?

The best time I'd ever had at an aquarium!
