We took a family field trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta today. So worth the time and money. Online it said it would take 2-4 hours to go through but we spent 7 hours there and we could have spent longer. It was not really crowded until later in the afternoon which was nice. There was a dolphin show which was entertaining. We weren't allowed to take pictures but the dolphins and their trainers did some really cool tricks. Kate said that was her favorite thing. Carter loved the Whale Sharks. There is a main tank that is almost as big as a football field where there are 4 Whale Sharks and lots of other sea creatures. Eli also said this was his favorite part but he was just excited to be there. All day yesterday he kept asking if it was time to go yet because he went with me to buy the tickets so he thought we should just be heading on over.

Here we are on a moving walkway that takes you in a tunnel under the Whale Shark tank.
Kate was pretending to be underwater in these pictures.
Which, apparently, was really bugging Carter.
They had a petting pool where you could reach in and touch Sting Rays. It was really hard for Eli to reach.
So I had to keep grabbing his pants to keep him from falling in. That would have been exciting!
Here is the main viewing area for the Whale Shark tank. It was Huge!

What a fun afternoon!!! Thanks for sharing.
They're all gonna want to be Marine Biologists. Cool place, glad you got to see it! Carter and Kate look like they have grown so much in the two months since I've seen you. Of course, Eli and Lydia look older too. You look great as always, but we never get to see Chad. I guess he's always taking the pictures. Loved sharing this excursion with you through your blog. Thank you so much for keeping it up!
Looks like a really fun trip. I think you are so cool to take your family on field trips!
