Mark and I have been studying ocean life, especially coral reefs in biology lately, so we made a trip to the aquarium down the street from our house.
Mark doesn’t believe anybody loves this kind of stuff more than the two of us. We take our time and watch the animals and read the signs. As we walked to our favorite part of the museum, he slipped his hand into mine and held it for a few seconds.
He loved the South American exhibit because they play drums over a speaker system as part of the tropical rainforest atmosphere. The rope bridge and the enormous fish and poison dart frogs are also big attractions there.
We love the penguins (hint: learn their names), rays, sharks, birds, leopards, and turtles. The snakes, tarantulas, and smelly Bearcats from Asia are lower on the list.
Today we get back to the books, but this day of field study will keep us smiling for a while.
