Sarah’s 1st Trip to Moody Gardens



We decided to take Sarah to Galveston this morning for a spur of the moment trip to Moody Gardens.  We were planning on going to the butterfly exhibit, but it is not open for another 2 weeks.  So we did the aquarium instead.  Sarah loved it – of course she loves anything with animals.  We sat and watched the penguins being fed for quite a while before moving on to the shark tank.  Sarah was a little scared of the big shark that swam right up to the window – but later in the obligatory trip to the gift shop picked out a shark stuffed animal (because the baby shark was not scary).  She is sleeping with the shark tonight in fact.  There was also a “petting” tank where Sarah got to touch a starfish, sea urchin, and lobster.  She was wearing a jacket and without even thinking dunked her whole arm down into the water which was pretty amusing.  She then insisted on touching every starfish in the tank.  We had a great time though and look forward to seeing the butterflies next time.  I think we’ll check out Schlitterbahn sometime this summer too.
