Last weekend we went to The Atlanta Aquarium. It is the largest aquarium in the world, and has the only live whale sharks in captivity. Here is my dad in the walk through uderwater tunnel. Here they had they whale sharks and many other fish and manta rays.








Throughout the aquarium they had differents places where you can touch the animals. It was fun to try and make jack touch them. He stuck his fingers in the water a couple times, but wasn't able to reach any.

Here is my mom looking at one of their many exhibits. They had several large tanks like this one.






These crabs are so weird. I've never seen or heard of them. They are huge! The sign said that they can grow as big as a car in 100 hundred years! It's amazing. They are called Japenese spider crabs.












They had a lot of seals, sea lions, and penguins in one area of the aquarium.








































I took this pic of a whale sharks above my head. They are a lot bigger then this picture makes them look.
