Aquatic Life

We visited The Living Museum in Newport News over the weekend. Savannah was enthralled watching the fish and sea turtles, jellyfish and sea horses. She loved all of the animals in the sea. she wasn't nearly as intrigued by the land animals and birds. Interesting. Was it because you could get closer to the fish and turtles? I wonder. She did love to look at the sea life, but when given the opportunity to touch it...um...no thanks. Savannah had the opportunity to touch a starfish, a horseshoe crab, and a regular crab and passed on all three. Addison touched the horseshoe crab and I actually took advantage of getting to feel what a living starfish feels like. I have to wonder, though about the differences. She has no problem petting animals in a petting zoo, but didn't want to touch the sea life. She just wanted to splash in the water. LOL! We will see what her favorite animal turns out to be down the road.
