Lagoon Trip Day 1

It hasn't rained in Utah for over 60 days.  Yet we were greeted Thursday morning to cloudy  rainy skies after leaving St George.  We kept hoping that the closer we got to Lagoon the clearer the skies would be.  Instead the more it rained.  We made a stop for lunch at McDonald's the rain was a drizzle.  We could still make this work.  It was not to be as we stepped outside it rained even harder.  As we drove by nothing was moving.  Time for Plan B??? The Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy and we were off....

The rain still falling the parking lot was full.  Cars continued to drive around search for the one space that might open up.  After about 10 minutes luck would have it we found one.

 Petting Stingrays
 Each one tried to reach in for a quick feel.  However, as Ryder moved in close the stingray raised up on it's side and scared the bejebbers out of him.  He was done with them and wanted to move on.
 Penguin Habitat
All new exhibit and boy it was fun to watch them swim and chase each other around. This guy stopped to watch us. Who is on exhibit now?

 Ryder's cousin with the crazy feathers. Or in Ryder's case crazy hair.
 Playing in the coral reef.
Otter Exhibit
Where are you, Otters?  Is that one?  Oops that is Reganne catching a closer look.
