Hands on...noses plugged!


One of the exhibits at the Estuarium on Dauphin Island was the touch lab. Specimens of all types of sea life were laid out on a table for the kids to touch, squeeze, examine, and yes...smell!


Kenny's favorite part of the touch lab was being able to feel and handle the hammerhead shark. Jessica liked the starfish and Lisa seemed to be grossed out by just about everything else! Typical teenager! She did, however, manage to find all the tan handsome sea lab assistants to be quite engaging. It was when I noticed they were paying her just as much attention that I thought we needed to quickly head to the Home Depot tent where we were able to make cute little birdhouses!
