Meeting the Jellies.

This weekend we took Keira to the Mystic Aquarium. Their website really talked up their Jellyfish Exhibit, and Keira had been talking about seeing Jellyfish all week, so we were very excited to take her to see them. Well when we got there, there were six somewhat small tanks of different kinds of Jellyfish, in a very small and crowded room. Jon and I were very sad, it wasn't what we had envisioned it would be. Thank goodness Keira didn't know the difference and loved it anyway!! and we did see some Jellyfish that somewhat resembled the ones Spongebob and Patrick like to catch. Despite our dissatisfaction with the Jellyfish exhibit we did have a really good time at the Aquarium and enjoyed the other exhibits!

I think that this is still the Pink Jellyfish Tank?? Keira's reflection is pretty cool though!

Holding the Starfish, after this we found out that you're not supposed to take them out of the water. Oops!

Up close and personal!

When we first got to the Aquarium the Sea lion trainers were trying to put on a show, but the Sea lions specifically this one were not cooperating. However now we finally can tell the difference between a Sea lion and a Seal!!

800 pound Sea lion.

A Sea lion weighting in at just under 2,000 pounds and had peaked at 2,050 pounds.

If you listen carefully you can hear her say "look he got a tail it swim like this" as she is shaking her leg.
