Last month during Jade's summer vacation, we took her to see a large indoor aquarium. They recently had a bunch of baby sea turtles hatch and we thought it would be fun for her to go see them.



They provided cabbage for the kids to feed the turtles. They made it clear that you don't give it to the turtles directly from hand to mouth. If the turtles bit you, they would take chunk of flesh when they did. Although they warned the group, I still saw some people feeding them that way.



If you've every played the game Hungry Hungry Hippo, this is pretty much what it looked like. The turtles' heads would shoot out and gobble up the cabbage. They were pretty cute.

The turtles in the blue bin are only weeks old. I would have expected them to be a bit bigger when they hatched, but they were pretty small.





When you held the sea urchin in the water, it would crawl across your had. It was funny a sensation.









They didn't have these baby turtles out so the public could view them. This turtle was only days old and they had them in a separate building in the back where they kept the new fish they caught to use in the aquarium. A friend of mine works at the aquarium and he let us go to the back building to see the new fish and turtles.

Jade really enjoyed herself. She keeps asking to go back. I suppose we will sometime in the near future.
