hello, readers. sorry I haven't blogged in a day, I wasn't able to blog because it was a busy day. so, rewind, wwwaaaaahhhh, okay. today, we went to the Shedd aquarium. summary: IT WAS SO COOL!!! I haven't been to an aquarium since third grade, so it was like a whole new thing to me. I've apparently been here when I was a baby, but I don't remember it at all. first we went to see the jellies. there were a ton of them. the black sea nettle (below) was my favorite because it was very pretty. next, we went to the animal show. there were lots of animals: belugas, dolphins, a seal, and even a dog!

no brain-no pain! |
afterwards, we met an animal trainer. I asked him if I could work there when I grow up, and he said, "sure, you're hired!". here is a photo of me, him, and my brother.
we also went to the "amazon rising" exhibit. there we learned about the Arapima, the biggest fish in the amazon. it can grow up to 10 feet long! compared to us, it's huge. ![]() |
