A trip to the Newport Aquarium

As we had mentioned on Friday, the Gustin family had plans to visit the Newport Aquarium this weekend. Our family's newest walker did us proud and showed off her new skill around the aquarium. Here are some pictures from our
visit:

Michael and Iyla dug for fossils near the otter exhibit. Not really sure what one had to do with the other but, Iyla seemed to enjoy digging around in the sand.

WOW!! Can you believe how BIG these fish are?!?!

Look at the sharks!

Here is what we saw swimming towards us. Pretty scary!

In addition, to seeing all the amazing sharks, Iyla got to TOUCH one!! Yep, they have a nice touch pool which allows guests to feel some of the smaller, gentler varieties of sharks.

Iyla enjoyed her day at the aquarium very much and even got a stuffed shark of her own to take home.

Here are Iyla and Mommy with the new shark outside of the aquarium:

And here is our happy camper on our way home:

I think this outing has been a success!!
