Sea Lion Bubble

The Memphis Zoo, really and truly, is a great place. They have a (relatively) new exhibit- the Northwest Passage- that has the new Polar bears, as well as the sea lions and bald eagle. The polar bears are so great. They will swim right up to the glass, beautiful and huge. But what is really neat is the sealion exhibit. They built in a "bubble" that's about three feet deep, and when you're sitting in it you really feel like you're in the tank! Today one of the sea lions was doing a loop, coming right up to the bubble an flipping around. The first time that sea lion appeared and flipped Sam just about fell over! We must have stayed there half an hour, just watching him come and go.

Jayden is terrified of the bubble and has refused to go in every time! Maybe your brave kids could convince her to try it out. Maybe that would be a bad idea though because then she would be conforming... nevermind we don't need your children's help. :)
