Hutchinson Island, Florida 06-24-10

We took Auburn and Melina to the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center for an afternoon of exploring aquamarine life.

We got in just as they were getting ready to show off the stingray exhibit.

Lynda and the girls listen to a lecture before getting a hands-on experience.

Melina gets in on the act.

Next was a lecture on marine life.

Then the staff fed some Florida sport fish, including sharks.

We then went for a nature walk to the intercoastal waterway.

The girls got to get some more hands-on experiences at another display tank while Lynda watches.

Auburn plays with a snail.

Melina holds a horseshoe crab.

Then it was back to their favorite part of the center, the stingray tank.

It was extremely hot that afternnon, so what better way to cool down than to visit a local ice cream shop?

Melina was a happy camper with her ice cream cone.
