Monday

I hope all you moms in the US had a great Mother's Day yesterday!

Sarah turned 8 on Sunday, so we celebrated by visiting the awesome Florida Aquarium in Tampa. This is a very nice place, if you ever happen to be in the area, highly recommended!

We had arranged for a private behind the scenes tour, and that was definitely the highlight of our visit. We got to see all that the public normally don't see, for instance the prep room where they prepare all the food for all the animals at the aquarium, both aquatic and birds.

We got to meet and greet with an alligator and Sarah also got to feed some giant fish out in the aquarium area itself. Our guide Courtney was very knowledgeable and fun!

Here is our guide holding up Joe, the 2 year old alligator:


And here is Sarah feeding some fish in the Florida Wetlands area with the help of another Marine Biologist:

Älskar själv akvarier. Det finns alltid så mycket interessant där. Låter som om Sarah fick en väldigt fin födelsedag och du fick en trevlig morsdag också.
KRam!

Förra året hade hon kalas på ett litet zoo här i stan, mycket trevligt.

I år var det bara vi. Kul att göra något utöver det vanliga så man verkligen kommer ihåg dagen!
