Saturday at Mote

We went to Mote Marine this past weekend. Sadly the kids have never been there before, and this place is basically in our back yard! I got four tickets from a sweet patient for Christmas. (Yes, I said Christmas)!!

First stop: Nemo and Dory.



Next up: Buffett (as in Warren) the manatee. Although I think Buffet (as in food trough) would be appropriate!


Zach "petting" the sting rays (sans barbs). They were friendly and slimy!




Zach says "This shark is sooooo cool!"
Sydney says " I don't want my picture taken in front of a big nasty hammerhead shark!"
(Caught in local waters--ugh!)




Sydney and Daddy checking out a toadfish.



So this is what a fish tank looks like from underneath!



Sydney loved the little crabbies.


We had a Blast!!
