My daughter wanted me to do something fun - besides working and helping them settle into their new house....so - we ventured to see the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN. She had a homeschool discount so we thought that was perfect!
Chloe didn't like it when the sharks swam over her head though!
"Ish" she called them! Soo cute!
When we got to the penguins though we were a little disappointed as the tunnel that led to the bubble for the kids to see the penguins was taken over by adults that camped out and just sat there instead of moving. So the kids weren't able to see them. Later however, we realized that it was feeding time and everyone was crowded in to see them. They sure are cute little things!
Don't step on this one! This rock is really a very poisonous fish and sharp tenicles filled with venom inject into its prey!
These odd little guys change colors! It's hard to explain - you'll have to go see them as seeing will be believing!
Ok....spider crab...ewww! They do have long legs to appear like a spider!
These are really odd little guys!
It was a really neat experience - and not nearly enough film to capture every moment and expression and dialogue from my grandchildren!
It was soo much fun! I wanted to do more - but needed to get home - so I will have to make another trip very soon and explore more of Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Galtinburg, TN! There sure are a LOT of things to do there!!!
After we left the Aquarium we made - yet another run to Krispy Kreme Donuts. Ya gotta spoil grandchildren....it's in a Grandparent's Job Description! lol!!!
NEXT STOP: Cold Stone Creamery! Oh YUM!!!! It was a mild fortune - but worth every penny! My grandchildren were especially delighted - and the youngest grandchild, Chloe, was no exception!
It was a great trip!!! I want to go back!!! SOON!
