Ripley's Aquarium!

     Now, this is something that I never thought we would go to. But since we had been going regularily to Toronto, anyway, Rachel, took the opportunity to take us there as a surprise! It was and it was amazing!
The CN Tower on the way.
 King crabs,

 American lobsters(this guy was over 2 feet long!),
 Wolf Eels,

 Electric eel.
 Not sure what these were. I took quite a few pictures, so I had hardly any time to do anything else.
 a big fish tank,
Sea pens (Nathaniel remembered these, but I didn't!) They're something I have never seen before.
 Starfish,

 "Dangerous Lagoon,"



Sawtooth shark or fish. I am not sure which.



 The children's section.

 Horseshoe Crabs, they can't hurt you.

 Finding Nemo



 Lionfish,
 Seahorses(can you spot them?),
Leafy Sea Dragon,
 The stingray tank...
 with a diver-
 don't worry, they clip the barbs like fingernails!

 Jellyfish changing colour(don't know if it is the lights or the jellyfish, themselves).

 Moon jellyfish,

 kind of hard to see....
 Upside-down jellyfish!


Bamboo sharks to pet
 On top of one of the tanks.
The tunnel we went through at the beginning.





 CN Tower, of course.



How wonderful are God's creatures!

Epiphany

     The day the Wiseman visited Jesus, or rather, the day set aside for that reason. The treasures that they brought to Jesus; gold, frankincense, and myrrh, are symbolic what Jesus came to do and what he was/is.

Happy New Year!

     2014 is come, 2013 is gone! Time to reflect on the blessings we have received, on how we spent the time.... and time to come up with the resolutions for the New Year. To live my life for God and be a better example is mine. Blessings, I realized, were many last year. I am so thankful!

  May God bless you all this year!
