Trip to Baltimore Aquarium

Today, the family and I took a trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. It was a neat, but warm, trip. Following are some photo highlights.

Dolphin Show

Other swimming things:

We saw sharks.


We saw electric eels.


We saw sting rays.


The main purpose of the trip was to see the jelly fish, as we start rowing
"Night of the Moonjellies" tomorrow. Wonder what connection the boys will make.

Tomorrow . . . .

is it. Tomorrow we kick off our 2009/10 school year. Don't know if the boys realize we're starting or not and I'm not totally ready either, but tomorrow's the day. We're using "Five in a Row" this year because we enjoyed it so much last year. Thought it would be fun to rerow a fun summer type book "Night of the Moonjellies" by Mark Sasha. To actually kick school off in a fun way, today after church we are going to the Baltimore Harbor Aquarium. They've got a jelly fish display, so that should be fun, too.

Other things on tap this go around:

• make our own moon jellies (with glow stick bracelets and foam balls, watch for pictures)
• set up a MarGra resturant
• okay, I admit, I've already forgotten some of the fun I have planned, but I'll blame that on the head cold I've had since Friday

Look out 4th and 1st grade, here we come!!!

P.S. more moonjellie posts to come this week. Stay tuned!!!
