Tianjin Polar Marine Museum ….rainy day get away

Tianjin Polar Marine Museum...now that's a mouthful!  Try saying that five times super fast!!!!

The "museum"…really it's more of an aquarium, is in TEDA.  So, that means it's about a 45-minute drive from the house.  And you know what, I think today is a PERFECT day for visiting the aquarium- it's raining and we need to get out of the house and do something.  What are you waiting for??? Let's go!!!!

 Check out these cuties that are living here at the aquarium:

They're so cute that the girls chose tiny polar bear toys to buy in the aquarium store. Or perhaps, it'd be wiser to say, that I bought them two polar bear toys and the girls were immensely over joyed. The girls couldn't choose what they wanted to buy so I chose for them! 😉 That's what mommies do.

 

The girls brought their notebooks along to encourage them to sketch some of their favorite animals and fish:

The last time we went to the aquarium this was a touching fish tank but this time one of the aquarium workers told Ava she wasn't allowed to touch the fish. What the heck?????

Hee hee hee hee!!!!!
