Mall of America, Minnesota

One of our kids had an animal research project on the Sand Tiger Shark in class. He worked very hard and wrote a detailed report and created an awesome presentation which he shared with the class. We thought it would be fun to go on a family outing to the SEA LIFE Aquarium at the Mall of America. We saw a lot of Sand Tiger Sharks in the 300 ft long underwater shark tunnel and our we learned a lot of new things! Of course since we were at the Mall of America we also stopped at the LEGO store, Nickelodeon Universe, and enjoyed dinner and a treat!
