Georgia Aquarium take 2

We planned to head to Savannah GA for spring break. Atlanta is about half way there. We went there 2 years ago and went to the WORLDS LARGEST AQUARIUM--The Georgia Aquarium . We loved it so much we decided to go back. This place truly is amazing! I even found us discount tickets online, about 50% off!! Side note-- the kids got really sick and we had to head home after the aquarium and never made it so Savannah. Its okay because Riley actually needed this week to study for his board exams coming up in 2 weeks.

Back to the Aquarium. Ever since Rhylan saw a beluga whale at Sea World, she has said they are her favorite animal in the sea. We headed to their tank first. She really enjoyed watching them swim so gracefully. We got her a little stuffed baby beluga in the gift shop. She has been keeping her close by ever since.She also liked the big tank with whale sharks. Look at that shark in the bottom right, he wanted to eat me I'm sure. We all thought those giant crabs were strange.
Here is a big hammerhead shark and a large manta ray. --and Rhylan picking her nose:)
Another exhibit Rhylan really enjoyed was the jelly fish. It took us several minuets to pull her away from these guys.



Rhylan was brave enough to touch the sea urchins after Riley bribed her with candy.
Gracin on the other had was pretty sad most of the time--remember I said they were sick. He was upset that he couldn't just run around like a crazy man. Now, we did let him walk around with the monkey leash, but that is not enough freedom for him. We finally found something he did like to do... punch fish. He would get right up to the glass and punch it as they swam by.


And here are a few shots of us.

That first picture of Rhylan looking up at the window in the ceiling is AMAZING!
