Georgia Aquarium...

One of the highlights of our trip to Helen was the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.

Wyatt and Atticus didn't look away from the exhibits long enough to get good pictures of their faces. We like the silhouette shots of the them dreaming of life under the sea better.

Atticus enchanted by the Beluga whales...3 of them!

You walk through an acrylic tunnel where whale sharks swim right over you, inches away.

Wyatt was turning cirles saying "Wah wah" and "Ooooooo, Wish!" (fish) over and over again.

The tunnel leads to the 2nd largest viewing window in the world; 23 feet tall, 61 feet wide, and 2 FEET THICK! The viewing room is so large they have mini stadium seating. I couldn't fit the whole thing with my camera lens. Wyatt looked so tiny up there.



This picture perfectly captures the effect the place had on big brother...He was either stopped dead in his tracks or whirling off to the next exhibit.

We loved the penguins. One kept touching Wyatt through the glass then running away. He and Wyatt played tag and laughed together for minutes. Other people even took pictures of the exchange.
Here the boys are admiring the Sea Lions.
