homeschool ocean week | personal

This week was all about fish and oceans.  We did a lot of art projects, personal water bottle aquariums, paper bag jelly fish and the Austin Aquarium with homeschool friends.  About 30 seconds after we walked in the aquarium Taryn puts her hand in the water (allowed and encouraged), a blowfish bites her finger! She pulls her hand out,the fish didn’t let go and comes flying out of the water and hits the ground. Taryn is crying hysterically because her finger hurts and it scared her, the fish is flopping all around on the floor, crazy! A worker walks over, scoops up the fish and plops it back in the water and walks off, didn’t even ask if T was ok. Very bizarre. She shook it off and had a great time with friends otherwise. Especially in the bird exhibit when the birds landed on her. I’d have freaked out because birds are my own personal version of hell, but she loved that part.
