~ Sting Ray Bay ~

Back on Jan 30th, 2009, Our family took one last hurrah to the Zoo with our Zoo Pass. We have loved having a zoo membership this past year. This time we decided to visit Sting Ray Bay. It was Awesome!


We all loved petting the Sting Rays except for Blake.


Did you hear what he was afraid of??? A Shark... a little baby shark in the water is all it takes for Blake to keep his paws out of the water. "I CAN'T" is what we hear from Blake any time he doesn't want to do what ever he is asked. I tell him CAN'T is a naughty word. He doesn't believe me.


On the look out for our underwater flying friends :)

Look at these amazing creatures. They loved to be touched...gently of course :) They are smooth and silky. I could stay here all day long :)


Here little sting ray..... do you see the shark in the bottom left pic where Kaitlyn in standing?


Here is a close up of the gruesome creature that frightened Blake to DEATH!!!

See... Blake is not happy. Blake is afraid of the shark. He thinks it will bite him...He is pretty smart! :) "It would hurt", he tells me.
It's ok Blakey Boy!


As we were petting our new favorite friends, one little ray took a sharp turn in the water and soaked Carly and splashed me! We laughed. It was funny! Carly did smell a little fishy the rest of the day :)
Good times at Sting Ray Bay! Can't wait to visit again ;)

That looks like so much fun, and getting wet while doing it looks like even more fun. We have always wanted to do that.

I would love to take our kids to do that. How fun! Why did they put a mean ol' shark in with those nice STING rays? lol
