The Planet Living Aquarium

The second graders' at Valley View took their last field trip to the Living Aquarium. I was one of the lucky moms to be picked to chaperon. It was a little sad thinking this is my last second grade field trip ever.

I had a great group of boys: Ben, Alex, David, Henry, and Shad. They were very well behaved, and easy to please.

There are three main exhibits at the aquarium: Discover Utah, Ocean Explorer, and Journey to South America. There was lots to see and do as we made our way through The Living Planet Aquarium. We were able to learn about some of the fascinating animals; feisty fish; and fascinating sea life in different parts of the world.

Our favorite exhibits were definitely the penguins, and the sting rays. The penguins put on quite a show for us as they pushed each other into the water and glided through the water. We were allowed to pet the sting rays. The boys' spent a lot of time slashing in the water with the rays. Most of the boys were completely soaked when we left.

Good times, and good memories of the second grade!
