Adventure Aquarium: Journey of Survival

 Since Dave was off from school today, we thought that we would take Dave and Sarah on a special trip to Adventure Aquarium to see Journey of Survival.  This is a special exhibit that features turtles from all around the world.  I have to say you greatly disappointed us Adventure Aquarium.  The turtles were far and few between.  And the crowd at the aquarium was rude and uncontrolled by your staff.  So when you were able to actually push your way up to the aquariums to see the turtles or fish, you only got to look for a milla-second before someone else was pushing you out of the way.  I think that you, Adventure Aquarium, should greatly considered having timed entrance tickets to give everyone a chance see the great animals that you have on display.

 At the Terrapin pool you were able to see these little guys swimming around like crazy.

Adventure Aquarium

Since Dave was off from school today, we thought that it would be a great day to use the aquarium passes that Sarah had won a few weeks ago!

 Dave and Sarah stopped to take a look at the river before going into see the fish.

 First stop the penguins.  They were getting their cage hosed out as we walked up.

 Of course we stopped to see the big sea turtles.

 And the little terrapin turtles!

 Sarah thought that these big fish were pretty funny.

 Amazed at how big they are when they got closer to her.

Finding Nemo!  Thank you to Adventure Aquarium for selecting Sarah as one of the shark photo winners!  We had another great visit with the fish!

Meeting Mighty Mike!!

 Dave was so excited to be able to see Mighty Mike at the Adventure Aquarium!  Above his is seeing how big he is compared to Mighty Mike.

 Checking out what a regular alligator head looks like.

 Meeting Mighty Mike!

 Mighty Mike is 14 feet long and weighs in at 800 pounds!

 And of course we needed to say hi to all the turtles!

 Sarah loved watching the fish swim around!

 Dave's favorite the giant turtle!

 We think the hippos were Sarah's favorite!

 Checking out the tropical fish!
