May 18, 2014 - Tennessee Aquarium & Chattanooga Discovery Center


Ella is looking forward to the aquarium, where we get face-to-face with a box turtle.


Ella really likes the sea horses.


After all that fishing at Big Canoe, we finally see a bunch of rainbow trout!


Jill and Ella touch some small sharks and sting rays.


Ella looks sad on a wall of [fake] penguins.


We all love the Japanese spider crabs.


We head to the Discovery Center, where you can be encased in a bubble.


Els loves it.


Pretty darn cool.


We put our rain jackets on and play in the water.


It is a complex series of tunnels, channels, waterfalls and more.


Ther is a huge area for climbing, too.


we're going to have a tired girl later!


So many areas!
There is a Corvette in front of a toy house.


Like her Lolly, Ella spends a lot of time cleaning and doign laundry.



A music room!


...and a stage!
This place has everything!


She loves the Tesla coil.


We go see the bees and climb a tower, but the end of the day - pretty much as they're closing down - finds Ella stacking cups with some of the student volunteer workers.
Ella is even dressed for it!
