DAVIS COUNTY, Utah (News4Utah) - People of all ages and abilities have the chance to experience the Amazon rainforest, the ocean, and even the Sahara Desert without ever leaving the state, thanks to a Layton-based company.
It is not your typical school day for five year-old Riley and her classmates from Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind.
I'm having a field trip, and it's pretty fun! she told News4Utah's Ali Monsen.
I see the birds... I see a chicken and a snake... Riley's friend Makayla said.
For these visually impaired children, 'seeing' requires much more than using their eyes. With imaginations as bright as the creatures surrounding them, experiencing the sounds, smells, and shapes of every animal is how they learn.
I have one student, who I always teach him {that} a star has five points, and so as he touched the star fish, we were able to feel the five points, explained the students' teacher Stephanie Petersen.
At SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium, feeling is just skimming the surface. Dive deeper into the permanent exhibit at Layton Hills Mall, and you may find yourself dipping your feet in fish-infested pedicure pools with the city mayor.
It's almost a tickling feeling, Layton City Mayor Bob Stevenson laughed.
These guys are doctor fish. They are currently eating the dead skin off of these guys' feet, an animal specialist explained, pointing to Ali and Mayor Stevenson.
Mayor Stevenson says it is cultural experiences like the SeaQuest Pedicure that will keep malls relevant and competing against the e-commerce industry.
It's very important as the business climate changes to have these types of things to create that entertainment, educational part in the mall areas and the shopping, Stevenson said.
But maintaining the facility is not easy. Aquarium employees say making sure the animals are comfortable and happy keeps them busy.
They perform water testing every day just to make sure that all the chemicals in the water create a good habitat for these guys... SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium General Manager Shelbie Humenberger said, pointing to the stingrays. Feeding is a bit part of it, she added.
Humenberger says the aquarium welcomes guests to literally immerse themselves into the environment, and sometimes that means sliding into a wetsuit and swimming with the rays.
Every three months, we take these guys out, and give them a little bit of a manicure where we just clip their little stinger, she said, emphasizing safety.
Humenberger says facilitating a friendly place where families can experience 1,500 creatures from every corner of the globe is what keeps SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium in business -- and growing.

LAYTON HILLS MALL with BIRD UTE
Me and my friend Bird Ute were at the mall for the Buffalo Wild Wing's restaurant on the property. We had some time to kill so we decided to explore the mall. Despite the amount of stores there wasn't very many people for a major July holiday afternoon. Maybe once Dillard's opens things will pick up again.

S8 Ep4 - Full Episode: Utah Legislative Process - The County Seat
Why are county officials always at the capitol this time of year, when we already have elected legislators and senators there? Because laws passed would be disastrous without the county riding herd on the issues. We will explore the shortest legislative session in the country and the relationship between state law-makes and county officials during this critical time.

Floating lights over Layton, Utah
I was driving home a little after 3:00 am on July 12 along Flint Street (heading north, coming up to the Layton Parkway intersection) and saw these three floating lights moving west. They seemed the size of airplanes in the distance, but they didn't blink and stayed at an equal distance away from each other before I started filming. You can see they also stayed in a pretty straight path and later each started to fade one by one. They were the color of fire, so my guess is they could've been paper lanterns. According to the weather report for Layton last night, the wind was moving ESE at 15 mph with 25 mph gusts and where I was standing there was hardly a breeze. So if paper lanterns, why would they float west? Did anyone else see this last night? Or the huge orange light on the mountain near Francis Peak on the July 4?
