On Sunday, Kyle, Papa and I met Sarah, Eric, Emma, Carolyn, Doug, Liam and Owen at what used to be known as "Ocean Journey". However, it has recently changed hands and is now owned by Landry's seafood and I believe it is now called the Downtown Aquarium and restaurant. Ocean Journey used to be pretty cool but it is now truly amazing though a little more like a theme park than an Aquarium.
Unfortunately Jack had to stay home since he had been up all night puking but Kyle had a wonderful time checking out the Shark, fish, Crabs, tigers, everything. Kyle did a little jig in front of a giant inflatable whale shark and managed to attract a smal crowd after several minutes of dancing.
When we got inside, Kyle spotted the grouper, Yelled "Grouper!" and ran over to sit down in front of his new friend. I think he sat there just looking at his spotted Grouper for about 15 minutes til we moved on.
They actually have live tigers at this aquarium, which seemed to enjoy stalking the little kids from the other side of the plexiglass.
A little unsettling to say the least.
When we got to a large tank with a number of Great White Sharks, Kyle promptly lay down in front of the tank for a better look. Interstinly, most of the other 2 to 4 year olds coming through burst into tears upon seeing a tank full of sharks.

By the way, this aquarium used to be "ocean Journey" and has recently been purchased and redesigned by Landry's Seafood Restaurants. Kind of weird eating seafood inside an aquarium.
