The Nolden Family

I love going on Field Trips with the kids. This time we got to go to the Georgia Aquarium in downtown Atlanta. It is supposedly the largest one in the world. It definitely was very nice.

I was in charge of 6 kids. Luckily I had another parent tagging along because that was a handful since it was VERY busy and we had one child that could disappear within seconds (and often did). As much as I like Field Trips…I think I will need to go back when I can look at the displays and not be constantly searching for children.

Here’s what we did:

Above: Walking into the aquarium. That’s Donovan in the brown jacket, and that’s his favorite teacher, Ms. Ferry up ahead of him (turned toward the camera). It was a 30 minute bus ride to get there…THAT was fun .

Above: these are 5 of the six kids we had in our group (we had already lost one .

Above: They were able to touch sting rays and little sharks. They probably liked this the most.

Above: This was a huge whale slide. You had to go up to the next level to go down it. This was another hit.

Above: Donovan up close and personal with an alligator. They were very interactive.

Above: The Baluga Whales were cool.

Above: Everyone loved the big tunnel where you were surrounded by sealife.

Above: Donovan and me.

Above: The Bus Ride. Donovan was trying to get a picture of his teacher…but he could never quite get one. She’s really good with the kids…in teaching and discipline.
