Tennessee Aquarium

After church today we headed down to Chattanooga to the Aquarium. We had never been, and McKenleigh LOVES fish, so we packed up and went. They have two Aquariums, one is salt water and one is fresh water. McKenleigh had a blast. She kept saying "ish, ish, ish" all day. She would get really excited and even squeal some times.

At the very beginning there is a "water encounter" with sting rays and sharks. People could put their hands in and touch them. McKenleigh was very intrigued, but was not about to put her hand in there.

Taking it all in, but not sure she wants to be this close to them.


Next we entered the butterfly house, with hundreds of butterflies flying around you. Here she is trying to take it all in. (She hasn't noticed the one on Daddy's shoulder.

Ohh...What is that?

Then on we went to see more.

In front of the penguins and very happy! When we started to walk away, she started to cry. It was so sad, we went right back to watch them some more.


It was very dark, so our pictures are not great, but she had a blast!!

After watching all the fish, we came outside where they have this little water way set up for kids to play in. The water was a little cold, but she was one happy girl.


We started sitting on the side.

I tucked her dress in her bloomers, hopping to keep her dress a little dry.

Why did I even try?
She ended up sitting in the water soaked from head to toe, but it was so much fun.



After a quick outfit change, we headed in to the fresh water aquarium.
(if you haven't been, you should go. It was great.)


Then for some ice cream before we called it a day.
