Under the Sea -- Our Trip to Shedd Aquarium


We loved all the different sting rays. They all had different markings on their backs, and we saw some really large ones. It was amazing to watch how they glide carelessly through the water.

I loved the beauty and vivid colors of the reef displays. The anemones look so delicate and the sea urchins look so spiny and the colors of the starfishes are so beautiful! And somehow it all fits together perfectly, an underwater paradise! Just a reminder that the world -- in its purity as God created it -- is a picture of perfection and harmony!




Initially, when we saw this display, Matthew and I thought there was an artificial light in the tank. The blue light is actually a Plumose anemone. Absolutely beautiful!




Can you find the seahorses? They were fun to watch!

Here is one very active iguana! 

One of Emily's favorite fish!

Doesn't it look like the fish is telling Emily a secret?
