So friday we went to Clearwater Aquarium, not much of an Aquarium but it is one hell of a rescue and rehabilitation center. Those poor animals and all they went thru to get to where they are now. We saw turles who were blind or nearly blind. We saw dolphins who were at one time very badly burned by the sun because they were beached at one point. We even saw one dolphin who completely lost her fin. So sad but so inspiring at the same time. One of my favorite quotes is "Always remember in your heart that you are far bigger than anything that can happen to you" I don't know who said it but it definitely rings true. I definitely believe that about myself and I hope others do as well.
Elena had lots of fun at the aquarium and has always been fascinated by fish. But here is a surprising twist....the girl is fascinated by sharks!!!!! My 2 1/2 year old who was startled by a snapper fish is in love with sharks! She loved watching shark week (soooo not my idea!). At the aquarium there were 2 sharks in a tank and one of the employees was scuba diving in the water to clean the glass and do you know my child stood there and said "Mommy I want to see the shark bite her". Luckily the lady cleaning the tank didn't hear that! I just pray that whatever amazing person she grows up to be, it has nothing to do with sharks!
