On our first day of NO SCHOOL we met some friends and we went downtown to the National Aquarium for a program that they held for children. I learned a lot about Steve Irwin's death! Did you know that the Stingray didn't actually fly out of the water and stab him? It actually was being held in front of him and the prong from the sting ray went into his heart and he pulled it out???!! We saw some sting rays close up and the prong is so little - about 3 inches.
We saw the baby alligators.
We also looked at a lot of shark teeth and touched some neat artifacts.
This is an illegal product in the US but is often smuggled to our country. The kids loved looking at it -Shark Fin SOUP!
National Aquarium Day! Very fun.
