Tues Feb 16

Hi everybody,greetings from the Texas State Aquarium. Today we visited the auarium in Corpus Christie. What a great morning that was. So much to see and all the kids on a school bus trip had a blast too.This is a Harris Hawk up close and personal. The trainers had it flying to perches all over the stands.
This is a cat from the country of Panama. I'm not sure of spelling but it sounded like quati.It can jump 6ft in the air for its prey!

Everyone loved this display of sharks and huge groupers in there also.
Ron has over 100 pics from today so we can only send a few of the best.

One of the dolphins with its trainer during the 1/2 hr show.


An alligator just soaking up the sun.You wouldn't hardly know its real but it WAS!




Dolphins greeting the crowd at the beginning of the show. The kids loved it.They could actually touch the sting rays in a tank on display.






The stars of the show and their trainers.
Eagles. raptors ,turtles,otters,snakes, moon jellyfish,all kinds of exotic fish,sting rayswere just some of the sights here today.
After lunch we headed over to the USS Lexington air craft carrier a couple of blocks away. Tomorrow we can do pics from that as we have quite a few.
Glad to see we have 2 new followers--my bro Gary and sister in law Mickey. Welcome!
Thats about it for today -Take care all Dee and Ron
