Summer in Miami has been a blast. There have only been a few days where we felt like the humidity was going to be the death of us. Nothing a dip in the pool or a swim at the beach couldn't fix. We found out about the summer fun pass (unlimited visits to four places all summer) when we only had one month left here in Miami. Lucky for us we are a homeschool family so we have 6 days a week to go and explore. We have gone to Miami Seaquraium, twice. We have gone to Zoo Miami, twice. We have gone to the Museum of Discovery and Science once, with plans to return. We still have plans to make it to the last on the list which is the Lion Country Safari.
We loved the Seaquraium. The killer whale and dolphin show was so fun! We were soaked. The kids had a blast seeing all the fish from all over the world. The boys really loved watching the seal show. But the part they all loved the most was the splash park that was in the middle of the Seaquarium. It was a ship wreck theme. I found it kind of wrong that at the snack bar they sold "fish and chips", come on now!
Zoo Miami is now my favorite zoo. don't get me wrong we love Cheyenne Mountain zoo back in Colorado, but it has to be said that seeing all the animals with out a glass in between you is AMAZING! The first time we went we saw a huge line of people waiting to rent a bike car thing. The kids begged for one and I said no because it was just a zoo and we could walk. Boy was I wrong, half way through the zoo I was wanting that bike thing too! We also found out that the zoo has a splash park too. On our second visit we cam much more prepared. We brought towels and swim suits, and left the stroller in the car so we could rent a pedal car!
The Museum was way cool! The kids have been watching discovery channel lately and there was a show about a prehistoric shark called Megalodon which has been topic on conversation for at least a week now, and when we found that they had a whole exhibit dedicated to it they were thrilled! We got to see sea turtles and see how they put there eggs in the sand. My favorite part was where they used skate boarding to teach the law of motion, balance, velocity, friction and safety!
We have been having a blast. I am so thankful that we get to have these experiences as a family!!
Until next time. I love you C,M,B,C,E and L!
P.S. These are just a few pictures from my phone. I will add more from the camera when I can!
