Birthday Trip to the Aquarium

For Aurelia’s birthday,we took her to the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. Aunt Tabitha came down for the weekend to hang out,too! We had a great time seeing all of the fishes and then letting her play outside in the splash park. The pictures below are in reverse chronological order. There are more pics on Aunt Tabitha’s camera to post later,as well,including some cake eating on Friday. They will be up soon,as well.

Riding a sea turtle.

Riding the sting ray. She was especially fascinated with these in the tanks,too.A brave girl putting her head in the alligator’s mouth! Looking up,up,up at the swim-over section of this river aquarium. The bear had front row seats to most of the fish. She wanted to make sure he didn’t miss anything. The dress is a new pillowcase-style dress that I finished up for her at about midnight before the trip. We went to some friends’ house for dinner,so sewing go pushed later and later in the day.
