The Aquarium (by Annie)

Yesterday we went to the Tennessee Aquarium. It was a lot of fun. There were two separate buildings, one had all the river animals, and the other had the sea animals. We went to the river building first. There we saw alligators, frogs and of coarse we saw a lot of fish. They did have a few sea animals in the river building but they were still very cool. I had no idea sea turtles were that big! After lunch we went and saw the sea animals. They had you start at the top of the building and work your way down. At the very top there was a rain forest exhibit. There they had a touch tank where you could pet sting rays, I had no idea they felt so slimy. They even had a butterfly room. We got to the penguin exhibit just in time to see the keepers feed them, we also got to see a dive show in the largest tank in the whole aquarium, it was really cool. Then in the jelly fish exhibit there were some jelly fish that flashed different colors. All in all it was a very educational day, we also had a lot of fun.
