Aquarium Visit For Memorial Day

Since we've been traveling a lot lately, we wanted to spend the long weekend relaxing together as a family. Steve and I knew Bella would love the Georgia Aquarium, so we planned to take the girls on Monday. We had so much fun!
 
 
The tickets for the aquarium included the new exhibit called Dolphin Tales; Bella was pretty pumped to see dolphins! It was incredible! Part Broadway-part Sea World; there was music, special effects, and lots of dolphins flipping and spinning in the air!
 

This little human makes such great expressions! This face was after she got to touch the sea urchins!


Daddy and Bella in front of the coral reef.


About to see the penguins!


Bella wanted to look at and touch everything! She could have stayed for hours if we'd let her!


Jellyfish! I like it when she squeals, "Just like on Nemo!!!" 


We somehow managed to walk into one of the rooms and be completely alone. Bella got to run back and forth, following all of the little fish darting around.


Bella and Evelyn in front of the huge wall of water. I didn't get many pictures of Evelyn since she was in the stroller, but we tried to get her close to the exhibits, and she would point her finger and follow the fish that swam close to her. It's fun to see her figuring things out and learning how to do more.

 
The whale sharks in the big tank. Bella kept switching the name and calling them "shark whales".
 
It was a great family outing! We splurged and stopped at the Café for lunch. It was a little rough pulling Bella out of there to finally head home, but we survived!
