Today we went to an amazing aquarium and the glorious beach. The aquarium was called "Underwater World". The entire group learned a lot about fish, seals, sharks, crustaceans and sea turtles. We also saw a seal show. After the show we went behind the scenes to learn about things beyond the public eye. The group saw sea turtles that were being rescued from Floatation Syndrome. We then left the aquarium and headed for the beach, where we enjoyed the cold water and sand on our feet. There was a friendly competition of making sand castles. The entire delegation was split into 6 groups and had 30 minutes to construct the best sand castle EVER! At the end of the day we watched a beautiful sunset over the South Pacific Ocean with our friends and competitors.
Frankie's Final Thoughts: "I thought it cool to see the sharks in the underwater tunnel. I also liked the quarantine section and the beach competition."
Kayla's Kaptions: "I thought it was amazing to see the beautiful sea otters sleeping, and the seal show. At the beach, the sand castles we all made were awesome! That's my Kaptions."
Annalee's Analysis: "I liked looking at the lionfish and making sand castles. I put my new Australia bracelet on one of the castles. I also liked the sea horses. They were so cute!"
Sarah's Sayings: "I enjoyed pretty much everything today. Plenty of the animals we saw at Underwater World will be at the reef - and I'll be looking for them."
