Day 5: Florida Aquarium

 

It was supposed to be a semi-rainy day, so we headed to Tampa to the Florida Aquarium.  Owen is apparently not an aquarium guy because he was not feeling this place at all!

You could actually pet the sea stars and sea anemones!

And sea cucumbers!  SO squishy!

They had a big stingray tank

Then he spotted the splashpad!

Someone was not a happy camper once they knew there was splashing to be had, so we headed out.

All suited up!

Unfortunately, he freaked out if ANY water got on him!

His favorite part was shooting the cannons on the pirate ship!

After he got squirted by another boy and had a meltdown, we decided it best to head inside.

We watched the fish schools move for a long time because it was just amazing how they swarm!  Then we headed out for a quick lunch and back to the resort.
