The Aquarium

While we were in Atlanta, we took the kids to the fabulous Georgia Aquarium and everyone had a wonderful time. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by this friendly penguin. In the past, Natalie has been petrified of any similar, large character so I thought we might have to duck and cover. Instead, I was presently surprised by her reaction and her decision to get her picture taken with the friendly penguin.

One of our first stops was to see the Beluga Whales. They are such beautiful creatures.


We also visited with the real penguins.
And then we went through the amazing tunnel where we saw a huge variety of fish, both large and small. We also saw a few scuba divers and the kids were scared of them (of all things) because they are the ones who take Nemo away in Finding Nemo. Too funny!


Amanda sure was excited to see all the fish.

Here, Natalie imitates a jelly fish.

And Carson looks like he's glowing while visiting the tropical tank.
It was fun adventure for the young and the not-so-young!
