One fantastic Monday several Mondays ago the Kindergarten classes from IST ventured to the Tianjin Aquarium. I love it when the parents are welcome to join on class field trips! It meant I also got to experience something new!
And the field trip went ….swimmingly!
After a 45-minute bus ride….we're there! And …apparently so is every other child in the Greater Tianjin Area! Holy Schmoly!!! How many kids can fit into this building??? I think we'll find out today!!!!
Penguins!
Watching the porpoises…
and then watching the dolphins do all sorts of tricks!
Oh…and the gift shop. Of course all the kids wanted to spend time and their parents' money in the gift shop!!!
Model of shark innards…
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Shark bite!!! How many kids can fit into the mouth of a shark???
The most soothing part of the aquarium was watching the jellyfish. Unfortunately, the shouting from all the children didn't exactly add to the ambience! ;-)
The fish "petting" zoo. Ava didn't mind jumping right in and "petting" the fish!
The walrus says hello.
The tiny school of very cute fish!!!! (Kindergarten classes from IST)
Back to school…and then back home.
Whew! What a trip!!!!
