Our trip to the Gulfarium

Mom and dad only live about an hour or so from the beach, so we took the girls there for a little "before school starts" treat! This was Lili's first time to the beach, feeling the sand between her toes, the salty air, and the loud crash of the ocean. What can I say? She absolutely loved it all! Emma squealed with delight each time the waves came rushing towards her.........their was a red flag that day so she wasn't able to swim in the water but she enjoyed playing at the shoreline.

But.....before going to the beach, we made a special stop at the Gulfarium. It was so much fun, we got to see dolphins, sea turtles, sea lions, tropical penquins, an alligator, tropical birds, and all other types of sea life. It really was a special day!

Emma was in heaven! She loves nature and all types of animals and sea life, she looked up at me before this picture as serious as can be and said, "Mommy, THIS is what I want to do one day." It was so sweet.
