John, Jason and I met Jim and Trenton at Jenkinson's Aquarium in Pt. Pleasant yesterday. Poor Oliver had to stay home with Sheryl because he has bronchitis.
Sandtiger shark
Grouper
This unusual looking fish is a batfish. It doesn't swim so much as walks, using both sets of fins sort of like legs and crutches.
Its gills are just a tiny hole along the side of its back above the fins.
Lion fish
We all loved watching the seals at feeding time. Trenton especially liked it when the seal came up to the window and seemed to be kissing him!
Jim's inside the diving suit. Trenton went in it, too but isn't quite tall enough even with the stool to get his head all the way up. The Aquarium has many interesting, educational exhibits. We also were able to see the penguins being fed. There are snakes, turtles, parrots, a marmoset, alligators and many fish tanks. We recommend this outing to everyone especially during January because it's half-price!
Uncle Jay is trying to master the art of reading two books at once.
Even though Ollie wasn't feeling well he was happy to see us and showed off his new walking skill! Sheryl had a wonderful bachelorette weekend only to return to sick sons. She's a nurturing caregiver. And just to keep her extra busy, she had to go to her class in the afternoon/evening. She'll have her master's degree after just a few more courses.

Another great trip - half-price admission is key! That bat-fish was freaky-deaky - good photos. BTW, my seahorse stamp finally washed off. :-)
Those pictures are fantastic! We totally have to go back again next year, with Ollie ;)
PS I say "two thousand ten"
