We went to the aquarium that is about an hour away, and it was very fun! We attended toddler time, which we learned about mermaids and made mermaid crafts. After that we explored the aquarium and watched the live dive! Reighlyn loved putting her hand to the glass and the diver put his hand up to hers! She thought that was great! We went into the gift shop and found a special little something to buy... A turtle egg! Boy, oh boy were we excited about this buy! You put the egg in water and watch it hatch into a turtle and then the turtle grows big, this is just a toy of course... not a real turtle.
After we left the aquarium we had lunch, that we paked, in their wildlife viewing area and just enjoyed the nice weather. Then we headed across the road to the ocean! It was a little walk from where we parked, but it was nice, and the beach was wonderful! We were the only ones there, and we built 2 sand castles, took some pictures, and watched wild dolphins swimming and coming up out of the water! It was fun to see the wild dolphins so close to shore right in front of us! We found lots of shells that we decorated our sand castles with and then we headed back to the car to go home!
Once we got home, the excitement started! We put the turtle egg in water, and Reighlyn was watching and waiting... for the egg to hatch! Lol I told her it would be about 48-72 hrs before the turtle would come out. She kept going back to the jar looking at it still... All night up until bed time!
