Shark Reef @ Mandalay Bay

I wanted to take Tyler to the shark reef, Brittney has been a few times, but were glad she wanted to go again, it was way cool and the kids loved it! Kevin too :)
Its funny to think its in the hotel, but its way nice! We had a great time!

We walked in and Tyler instantly jumped straight to the glass to see the alligator
pointing at all the fish and yelling "fish, fish, mama, fish"
{he said mama, but he was talking to grandma :)}
Grandma and Hailey
She loved looking at everything too. She noticed all the animals and was in
amazement everytime we came around the corner to the next new thing!
He swung on most all of the rails...

and then he would swing back and forth, showing off to Kate :)
Cousins having fun!
There was seriously a ton of fish, all colors and all sizes!Tyler being his expressive self that he is!
This is funny....When we went through the part where the water is all around, Tyler started ducking, it was too cute!

Finally realizing it was okay, then no, it wasnt again :)
told you she was loving it!Cousins having more fun!
The sting ray exhibit

Britt and Kate
Most of us....Kevin was getting ready to flip a sting ray that couldnt flip itself because it didnt have a tail
kevin was elected to do it, well he offered...after watching the worker lady try unsuccessfully, Kevin said that he would try, she gladly let him and......
tada!!! YAY kev, he saved the sting ray!!

standing by the shark reef, there were some pretty big sharks!

the job kevin wants :)
these guys were swimming in the tanks cleaning them with all the sharks swimmin' around. We were kinda more interested in them at first, it was funny, and the fact that he was posing for pictures made it more fun!
{do you see him making a peace sign like kev :)}
Hailey and I
The kids and I
TylerKev, we got a good one huh?!
{he kept giving us silly face, but we squeezed a smile out of him!}

and Miss Hailey!
she couldnt have been better, she loved it! she loved all the colors and the fish and trying to touch them through the glass! so cute!
Love her smile too!!

Well.....that was the shark reef :)

That looks so fun. Way better than the Aquarium in Salt Lake. I can just hear Tyler screaming and pointing at the fish. What a cute little Hailey. She is so sweet and content.
