Adventures in Mystic

We were treated to a day filled with adventure and fun at Mystic Aquarium when Farmor and Farfar came to visit. Both Aaron and Helena loved looking at all of the marine life and it was so much fun seeing it all through their eyes! There was so much to see, the kids didn't know what to look at first! Above, Helena and Farfar stop to look at the penguins.

Daddy and Aaron also pause to peek at the penguins sunbathing. We were surprised that none of the penguins were up for a swim during our visit.

The turtles seemed to be a favorite of both Aaron and Helena. We were thrilled to spot one up close in the marsh. Inside, we were able to see a few more swimming around as well.

Farfar brought Aaron to the touch tank to take a closer look at some of the sea creatures on display. Even though Aaron's arms were a bit short to reach all of the way in, it was exciting to touch the water and to take a closer look!
