The New Jersey Aquaruim! Check these Pics out!

My mom and aunt Elaine came to visit and we did some great things but I think of all the things we did the Camden Aquarium was the BEST! Maddex LOVED it! Jett liked it, he was a little scared at first but he soon loosened up. Tyler was also in heaven cuz well you know he loves the animal world and I am glad he was able to go with us!

The first "zone" we did in the aquarium was the hippos, and they were by far my favorite! They came right up to the glass as you can see above! They just starred at Maddex, and let him get so right up to the glass also! It was a little crazy thinking that all was separating a huge hippo from my child was some glass but surprisingly they looked gentle and sweet. (Even though the Discovery Chanel says they are not)

This is the viewing area that was under water, it was incredible to watch them swim!

LOOK HOW HUGE SHE IS!!! He name is Genny and she was HUGE!

Jelly fish they were so pretty!

Scary shark! There was a tunnel that had all sorts of creatures swimming around you! It was hard to get a picture though so here is what we did get a creepy shark!

Sharks mouth, it freaked Jett out a bit! Notice his eyes!

BIG under water viewing area!

Petting some baby sharks! Ya cuz we are cool like that!

Some stingrays which we also got to pet!

Maddex tried to grab one and it splashed up at us, he was not so sure about them after that. It was still really cool cuz we there were TONS of hands on things all the things we touched were.
Starfish
Jellyfish
Anemones
Stingrays
Sharks
Horshoecrabs

It was SO great to have my family here, I have missed them so much! Maddex and Jett also LOVED have the extra attention and the goodies around!

Notice how Jett has a death grip on my arm, he was not so sure about this big guys.

They were so pretty! We loved watching them swim and walk on the bottom in their tanks.

By the end Jett was getting super tired but Maddex was wanting more!

Touching some more sting rays!
Thank you mom and Elaine for coming and experiencing this with us! It was a blast to have you guys here! I miss you already and so do the boys! Thanks for everything!
