Christmas in Galveston Part 3

On Sunday the 23rd we had our family Christmas in Galveston. Addison got a giraffe toy that you could put colored balls in that also lit up. She kept trying to use the toy to try stand up!
We also swung by the aquarium at moody Gardens that day. Below is a picture of the tank filled with starfish that you could touch. Addison just liked to look at them.

They were feeding the sea lions when we were there. Directly above and to the left of Addison's head you can see one of them jumping up to touch the orange ball.
Next to the sea lion tank they had a vertical tank that had some small sharks and other fish in it.
Here is Addison looking at some of the corals.

The tank above is the same one that had the small shark in it before. This is a view of it from one level below.
This rock fish really grabbed Addison's attention.
The penguins were a big hit with everyone, including our daughter.
There was a platform right near where Addison was that the penguins would jump up onto and off of. She would bang the glass when they swam by in excitement. Above is a shot of one zooming right in front of us.
They had this height chart showing the different types of penguins in the world. Addison was taller than two types of penguins.
They also had a large circular tank that you could walk underneath. This one had quite a few large sharks.
They also had a shark cage that you could climb in for fun.
