Aquarium Day

We all had a fun time at the GA Aquarium and while we seemed to go at a very good time (9-10am tickets), I think that all the people kind of sapped Maddy's enthusiasm (lunch afterward consisted of Maddy sleeping on my shoulder for the most part). There wasn't a lot of excitement from my little daughter, but I think you could tell that she was certainly interested. Especially when the fishies were swimming up above her head. I think she enjoyed the Beluga whales, the otters, and the penguins the most, although she certainly seemed to pay close attention to the eagle rays floating overhead.

Apparently, we've gotten a new whale shark and another beluga whale. Its sad to know that we've had to kill a couple of them off because we don't really know how they like their environment (my opinion, but wouldn't you rather be in the ocean instead of a little tiny fish bowl). I think overall everyone enjoyed the aquarium. I'm going to have to take her back when she's three or four to see the excitement pour out of her. Have her run over to the glass to see all the pretty fishies.

So, out of everything in one of the largest aquariums in the world, my daughter chose the plastic and fiberglass fish and mermaid as her favorites. Bring on the cuteness...
