Aidan's last High Flyer field trip was to the Downtown Aquarium.
Riding the train.
Entering the tunnel...
...which was filled with sharks!
This shark was above us
The boys then wanted to go on the Ferris wheel, which I thought Aidan would change his mind once he got closer.
Nope! They loved it!
They were all hoping it would get stuck and the firemen would have to come save us!
We had a great view of downtown and Gramps' building
Then they wanted to go on the free-fall ride, which I thought Aidan would change his mind once he saw what it really did. Nope! It drops about 5-10 feet and he did ok the first 2 times. Then he tensed when it went back up and had a frozen scared smile on his face for the next few drops. But he said he liked it when he got off.
After lunch we went into the actual aquarium.
The touch pool had a spot to go underneath to see the stingrays swim over you. Aidan is on the left. He had a great time feeling the very friendly rays. If they swam over to you and you didn't pet them right away, they would splash you to get your attention!

Aidan is much braver than I would be. You couldn't pay me to ride that ferris wheel!
