Georgia Aquarium Trip

On Friday, February 25th, we drove to Atlanta to meet Courtney's mom and Aunt Susie with her family. We all spent the night and on Saturday, February 26th, had a BLAST together at the Georgia Aquarium! It was incredible and a wonderful family trip for us all! Thanks Grammy for planning such a fun get-away for everyone. We loved it!
The hallway was lined with HUGE fish tanks and they immediately caught Carter's attention!

He was very content just watching these little fish (in comparison to all the other fish we saw!).


Our family picture-
our attempts are getting harder since Carter is too curious about everything else!

One of the first exhibits we visited was the Beluga Whales- AMAZING to watch! We were all in awe!


On to the penguin tubes- Carter went through the tubes with his cousins, Uncle Aaron, and Joe.

Carter thought it was so funny to see the penguins... and his cousins... in the tubes!

We got to watch the shark feeding, which was just incredible! The different species actually know when it's their time to eat according to the color of net dropped in the water. We were amazed that they can distinguish between all the colors!

Family picture- Round 2! Carter at this point in the day was ready for a nap but he was a trooper!

Ainsley, Zoe, and Ellie all had their face or arm painted- FUN!
