Spring Break- part one

For Tristan's Spring break we went to see an aquarium down in Newport, Kentucky. It's down by Cincinnati, and just over the Kentucky boarder. The Ohio River runs just to the right of the Aquarium and is the boarder between the states. Cincinnati is a beautiful city with lots of pretty architecture. Because the river runs past downtown, there are lots of cool bridges. We went with three of Tristan's classmates and their families. Here are some pictures we took.

Outside of the aquarium. We ate our picnic lunch here after going through the aquarium.
I think she's got a long way to grow!

Family picture in the frog exhibit. Right next to this exhibit they had the otter habitat. We watched two otters playing tag and chasing each other all over. When they jump in the water they'd spin as they played. The kids loved it. As we were leaving the otters the exit takes you through a bird exhibit and I almost got pooped on. Ew!

Tristan had lots of fun finding weird looking creatures to take pictures of, like this lobster. There was a Giant Pacific octopus in the tank next to this one. However, since they really like dark places, I couldn't get a picture of it. It's eye was huge!
