I recently scheduled an outing to Sea Life in the Mall of America (formerly Underwater Adventures) with a group of homeschoolers from our church. I admit that my choice of destination was somewhat determined by my oldest child. I knew Ian would LOVE it, even just since last fall when we went last!
Because we are an educational group, we got an amazing discount. In addition to that, we can get the behind-the-scenes tour, in which we see all the tanks from overhead, see the animals being fed, and we even got to go into the prep kitchen and see for ourselves how they prepare the food that the sea animals are fed.
I wasn't supposed to take pictures... that's why it's blurry ;)
This is the jellyfish tank.
And afterwards, Ian was able to purchase a long-awaited toy - a stuffed harbour seal. We've been looking and saving for a little while, and finally he found it! Needless to say, Henry the Harbour Seal has been adopted into our family and goes pretty much wherever the rest of us go!
