A VISIT TO THE MISSISSIPPI AQUARIUM Ariel, Sebastian and their friends went to the Mississippi Aquarium last weekend. Their parents drove them.

They left home at 7:00 in the morning. The kids were so excited. It was their first time seeing marine animals together. When they arrived, they went right to the bird aviary.

Sebastian got bored while Ariel was very interested.

After that, they went to the alligator exhibit. They were scary because they were huge and had sharp teeth. The dolphins were amazing because they could do some tricks.

Before they left, they saw a sign about sleeping over. It was a great idea and they had to try it out soon. They had a great day. They planned to come back again next month.
