Trip to the Aquarium

Today we decided to go to the Ripley's Aquarium.We went last year and really enjoyed our time there. The neatest part is the walkway through the beautiful tanks full of gorgeous fish and sharks. Here are some pictures I was able to take.

We were able to watch a scuba diver in the sting ray tank. I would love to have that job! When she finished she came up to the touch tank to encourage the rays to come right up to be pet easier. I asked Jeremiah about doing it cause most the time he's scared to touch them. He said he wanted to try. So we got into position and she brought one right up to him. He told me he was really glad he did it. They feel so soft and it really surprises you. I was very proud of him for trying something out of his comfort zone.

Tomorrow the PALs retreat starts. I'm looking forward to picking up the needle again. I've been too busy to do any stitching.
