The Aquarium (ridiculous amount of pictures. sorry)

Today we went down to the Baltimore Aquarium. Navie loves fish so we knew she would like this. And of course we were right : )


The glass buildings are the Aquarium. Its right on Inner Harbor. You can even go through a Sub (the shark painted boat) and an classic type of ship. We didn't do any of that though.

Here I am with the Brook Trout. Haha, "Brooke" with "Brook" Trout : )


This turtle was ridiculously big! No joke, it was bigger than Cris and I put together!


Navie looking at the fish.


Here is a video of Navie telling us about the fish. She had a lot of fun today : )



Just walking around.

A Clown Fish. It was so hard to get good pictures because the fish kept moving and some places you weren't allowed to use flash. I think I was able to get to nice one though.

Daddy and Navie.

They had frogs of all kinds. I couldn't believe how small some of the pioson dart frogs were. They were like the size of chocolate chips!

They even had a tropical rainforest exhibit.



Even more fish : ) This one is a Lion fish.

We went to the Dolphin show. It was really fun to watch. Navie LOVED it! She was clapping the whole time. When it was over she kept asking for the dolphins.




And here is a video of one of the tricks the dolphins did.

The special exhibit this year were jelly fish. They had several kinds and they all looked pretty cool. I couldn't believe how small they actually are. And no, the picture above is not upside down. Thats how this species swims.




Navie really liked the bubbles pillars. They had wall of them and it was hard to get her to leave.


The last exhibit we saw was the Australian exhibit. It had a lot of snakes, lizards, and plants from the Outback.
So over all it was a great day. We had a lot of fun at the aquarium and learned some very interesting things. Like did you know that dolphins can recognize themselves in a mirror? I had no idea that they could. It was really fun!
