Fascinating Fishies

Yesterday we went over to Kemah and took Mika to the little aquarium exhibit at a local restaurant along the boardwalk.  She was just fascinated by all the fish.  I think they were fascinated by her as well.


We saw a lobster that particularly captivated her.  At least, I think it was a lobster.  It played hide-and-go-seek with Mika and she was really intent on trying to find it.


She REALLY liked the little fish. Maybe it was their bright colors or the way they darted about.  She just got so animated when we'd go past one of those tanks.


Perhaps she was trying to "Find Nemo?"  The little gold fish would dart up to her hand and act as though they were trying to give her little kisses.


 I had fun providing "voices" for the fish and telling her tales about all the aquatic life.  Wonder how much of that she'll remember?


Finally it was time to say goodbye to the last fish and head out back into the sunlight.  Judging by how much Mika fussed on the way back home, I'd say she wanted to go back and spend more time at the aquarium.
