I have never been to Moody Gardens in Galveston so we added it to our mini-Dec vacation. I expected to see the pyramids but being December it was over run with Holiday fun. This day was really warm. We had to go inside to get cold!
To Ice Land - a Caribbean Christmas.
We were given parkas and explored the ice sculptures made by experts from China!
Ice chairs.
We all took a few turns down the ice slide.
We warmed up with a hot chocolate and then onto our next fun. 3D movie of Tiny Giants-a chipmunk and mouse in the wild.
Then to a paddle boat that slowly took us around the bay. The sun was beautiful and we ate our packed lunch.
Then into the being renovated Aquarium, though a lot was closed, it was still super neat with sharks and seals and lots of fish.
Rainforest pyramid. This one was hot and humid and so much to see.
including butterfly area.
birds
and birds being fed.
The day before I was chatting with Gloria's super good friend's moms at their holiday party and we both mentioned we were going to Moody Gardens the next day!! So we got together in the Rainforest and our girls showed them again all the cool things including twin one day old Pygmy Slow Loris babies (tiny primates from Vietnam).
Our 4D movie was a short one of the Rudolph story with snow blown in our face. This began it being super crowded and we had to wait in line.
Discovery pyramid including a Sponge Bob interactive 4D movie and art dinos in motion.
We then had a nice buffet in the garden restaurant and headed out to the line of people walking through the Trail of Lights or Festival of lights or whatever they call it.
It was nice and we were so glad the weather was good.
On the drive home, I can't remember the last time they both fell asleep in the car!!
