Hiya, Little Water Heroes!
So this summer, Mr. H and Miss Melanie planned a day trip for all of us to visit the
Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut. We took Miss Sharon and Mr. Danny along with us, too. And it was SOOO FUN!!!

 |
| Zooooom, the penguins swim by! |
 |
| Playing "follow the finger"! |
 |
| This freshwater brook runs to the pond down below... |

 |
"Ooooooh, let's name the zones, the zones, the zones.
Let's name the zones of the open sea!" |
 |
| Charlotte, the green sea turtle! |

 |
| This blue lobster is blue like ME! |
 |

 |
| The fish glow, that's what happens! |
 |
| Eerie eel. |
 |
| Can you spot the fish hiding? |
 |
| I see sea horsies! |
 |
| They're terrible swimmers, but they really know how to use their tails! |
 |
| Ohhh, a shark touch tank! |
 |
| Jellies! |
 |
| Whoaaa... |
 |
| Gosh, I never knew just how pretty these were! |
 |
| You can see their electricity flowing! |
 |
| Looks like a mushroom! |
 |
| Upside down jellies! |
 |
| It the Titanic Exhibit: this is one of the rooms a RICH guest would stay in on the Titanic. |
 |
| ICEBERG!!!!! |
 |
| Hundreds of people would take turns using this tub while staying on the Titanic. |
 |
| Down below in B deck! |
 |
| That's a nifty kind of suit! |
 |
| I'm the king of the world! |
 |
| Hey, Mr. Spongebob, fancy seeing you here! |
 |
| There was nice art to be found, all around! Like paintings... |
 |
| ...sculptures... |
 |
| ...and even tiled whales! |

 |
| Let's dance together! |
 |
| Aren't we just fancy? |
WOWIE! What a day that was! I couldn't believe all the awesome habitats and animals we got to see, and even TOUCH! It was one of the most fun days ever! My favorite part was definitely seeing the beluga whales, and meeting Juno. I sure hope Miss Melanie takes me here to visit again!
