As summer is approaching, I thought it is now time to educate ourselves and the kids on marine life in Australia. So a trip to the Sea Life Aquarium in Melbourne seemed like a good start. We learned about a wide variety of sea life including seahorses, jellyfish, starfish, a massive crocodile, penguins and of course, sharks.

The Octonauts were there on the day we visited.

Touching the starfish was a highlight for Alexis.

Can you spot the massive crocodile?

The glowing jellyfish were fascinating to Alexis and Reid.

 

The shark exhibition was particular exciting, especially when the sharks swam right up to the window we were standing in front of and over our heads as we walked through the tunnel.

 

The last stop at the Aquarium was the Penguin Playground. Reid tried to copy the penguins as they waddled along. It was entertaining, for not only Alexis and I, but for most of the other visitors standing around as well.
