Chaperoning Miyajima

 On December 15, I got to chaperone Callie on her field trip to the Miyajima Aquarium.  It WAS raining this time, but we went anyway.  I was prepared with umbrellas and ponchos, but the rain kept to a decent drizzle, so it wasn't too bad. I had 3 girls to supervise and the only one who could not
behave was my own.  Sigh.

It is about a mile walk from the ferry port to the Aquarium, and that left us with just over 2 hours to explore the Aquarium.  We did not have much time, after the sea lion show and the penguins, so we didn't explore all the aquarium.  It was more fun than I had anticipated.

 At the iconic Torii.  Callie is avoiding the school group photo.

Now she is trying to avoid me. 

She did NOT want her picture taken! 

 So I snuck this on on zoom.

And then I took Selfies, because I needed SOME photos!

5 Story Pagoda.... never gets old!

The sea lions were very cool. 

And quite talented. 

Did I already say talented? 

Callie loved the tide pools the best. 

And the dolphins were cool, and depressing to see. 

We timed it to make the penguin petting schedule.  Nice canned shot, hmmm? 

And they got to pet this one.
