A day at Adventure Aquarium


Max and a new friend.


Sabrina thought it would be fun to get into the tank and go swimming with the sharks, but I pointed out that she hadn't brought her bathing suit.


Max's favorite tank of fish.


Can you spot Nemo 1 and Nemo 2?


Sabrina checking out the starfish


Jellyfish rock


The penguin mafia


Quick—spot the hippo!


Is it just me, or did he smile for the camera?

    Hello. Stumbled upon your blog from Ally in Wonderland.

    BTW: my first name really is Marcia. :)

    Sabrina sounds adventurous wanting to swim with the sharks. You might have to look out for her when she gets older.

    Both kids are adorable!

    And, yes, I think the hippo really is smiling.

    What aquarium was this?

    Thanks for the IDs, Rich. Impressive! Place really is called Adventure Aquarium—adventureaquarium.com. It's in Camden, New Jersey (near Philadelphia).

    We were all impressed by the two hippos we saw. Sabrina asked why they were naked.

    Welcome, Marcia! Welcome AZ, too!

    Hey great photos that place looks like tons of fun my kids would have loved it too. I don't think there is anything like that here in Toronto Canada.

    Sabrina's got a point, Ellen. They're supposed to be wearing tutus and dancing with the elephants and alligators.

    Hi Ellen,

    Looks like you and the family went on some wild fun! Packing up and hitting road -- how cool is that?

    Thanks for stumbling onto Amelia's blog -- I love connecting with Mom's who have stories of inspiration. It gives me renewed hope -- and tons of questions.

    I've been browsing your earlier posts and I really enjoyed learning about Max and Sabrina through your eyes.

    Can I add your blog to my friends list?

    That looks like an absolutely wonderful place to visit. I love the pictures. I would probably get in trouble though for knocking all the kids out of the way to get a better look :)
