The National Aquarium 5/13/10

The 2nd graders made a field trip to the National Aquarium yesterday.  Sullivan's summary:  "That was awesome!"  Her favorite thing was the dolphin show, of course.  Usually my favorite thing is the sea horses but this time I really liked the new jellyfish exhibit.  Although the new born sea horses were pretty amazing, too.  Here's a little summary in pictures:

Seahorses!

Dolphin show

Sullivan and Blake are checking out an egg that was laid that morning by a zebra shark.  It sure didn't look like an egg.

The new jellyfish exhibit was extremely cool.  They even had a tank of baby jellies that would eventually grow to be 8 ft. across!

These guys were glowing and you could see right through them.

I think these were my favorite.  I'm getting a little reflection off the glass, but I think love this picture.

And, of course, the kids had as much fun on the bus as they did in the aquarium!
