Uncle Herb came to visit this week and took us to the Aquarium. He was going to see some friends who work at the Aquarium so we were able to take the behind the scenes tour and see some parts of the Aquarium that we had not seen before.
Here we are in front of the tropical coral reef exhibit. This is one of the most beautiful exhibits with waves and all. The waves break over the our heads inside the curved glass.
Calvin watching the divers . Calvin was able to meet on the of divers behind the scenes - he was very impressed with all of the gear.
The famous whale sharks.
Isaac was a trooper - he watched everything and didn't fuss at all eventhough he didn't have a nap.

The real Whale Shark. We were able to go behind the scenes of the largest exhibit and see the 6 million gallon tank from above. This was one of my favorite parts.
All of us on the bridge above the 6 million gallons. Amy, Uncle Herb, Calvin, Isaac and the Whale Shark in the background.

One of my friends recently posted a picture on facebook of the whale shark tank. I was absolutely in awe. I cannot believe that there are whale sharks in captivity, and that I had not heard of this before last week. It is now a must that I go to the Georgia Aquarium very soon.
Wow, how fun! It looks like you guys had quite the treat getting to go behind the scenes. Cute pictures.
WOW!! That is AWESOME!! That's an opportunity of a lifetime!
Great pictures too! :)
