Prior to leaving, Ms. Burton handed out name tags for everyone that had coordinating sea life. She also provided the kids with a list of dos and dont's relative to going on a field trip to a place as large as the National Aquarium.
After going to the bathroom, the kids lined up to get on the bus.
I was lucky enough to have Jackson next to me on the bus. He was giving anybody that would listen his scenic tour of our route and places that he knew. It seemed as though he was definitely impressing his teachers.
Ryan and Connor enjoyed getting a chance to sit next to one another.
Group Shot with EVERYBODY looking and smiling.
We immediately found a noisy macaw and moved on to the lemon shark, sea turtle and stingrays.
The kids were eager to get a close up of the sea turtles and check out all of the technology boards to learn more information about the animals.
We moved up to the next level to check in on the fish.
We spotted the starfish and sea urchin.
One of our favorites besides the different colors of the eels was this polka dot ray fish and incredibly large fish in the displays.
A very large crocodile was spotted.
After a brief but incredibly humid trip to the rainforest where we looked very hard for the tamarind and did eventually find them despite their best work at camouflage, we headed down the escalator and found the divers. This was by far the kids most favorite part. They were checking out the sharks and keeping an eye on the workers.
We boarded the bus and it started to snow on the ride back to school. Lots of kids started to fall asleep on the warm bus after the excitement of a very fun trip to the Aquarium.
