We recently had the privilege of enjoying the Newport Aquarium in northern KY. Although Liam loves animals including sea animals, the aquarium doesn't hold his interest quite yet as the zoo does. He sort of took a look at the fish as he walked through the maze of people. We had to focus on him more than the fish at times because he's so independent and fast. It makes you a little nervous with all the people waiting their turns as our little guy can slide right on by them and, well, we can't.
After stopping for a quick look at the lion fish, we finally made it to the larger tanks. I couldn't believe how excited he was about the sharks. He sat in the tunnel and watched, watched, watched! An added surprise was the divers in the tank. One of them found a shark's tooth and held it in his hand against the glass for the children to see. Liam thought that was something else. We stayed in the tunnel for quite a bit before moving to a bubble where he could have what felt like one on one interaction with the sharks. So exhilarating!
I'm so glad he had the opportunity to enjoy the sea animals. I'm sure we will try another aquarium trip next year to see what new adventures he may have with his shark friends.

Liam is the modern day Noah - all of God's creatures are to be treasured and looked upon in awe! I can't get over the knowledge he has already gained about animal facts. I can't begin to keep up with him for instance when he stated that a monkey has a tail, an ape doesn't and that a gibbon doesn't have a tail because it is a type of an ape - WOW!!!!
