Birch Aquarium

We finally took the boys to see the Birch Aquarium. We've been planning to go out there for quite a while. During the month of February, all the museums are half price. So we took advantage of the savings and headed out. It was really fun. It was pretty small, but that was good for the boys. They had a lot of fun looking at all the neat fish, jellyfish and sea horses.

Henry liked all the shiny fish.

I love this photo. This is an exhibit of a kelp bed. It actually simulates waves crashing at the top so the fish and plants move around in the water. The wall was probably 10 feet tall. They boys had a lot of fun getting close to all the fish swimming around.

My little fishies!

This was a funny little eel that buried itself in the sand. It was really small and Jonah thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen!

Shark bait!

The shark exhibit was pretty neat. The sharks were all pretty small, but still neat.

Admiring a shark

This tiny submarine was on exhibit on the way in. Jonah was convinced it was a helicopter. It took a lot of explaining before he would finally accept that it went under water!
