Mystic Aquarium

We stayed at Mohegan Sun for our anniversary, and decided to stop at Mystic Aquarium on the way home since we both hadn’t been there in years. I forgot how much I love it there! We watched the penguins get fed, watching some beluga whale training, and one of the belugas kept swimming up to the glass with it’s mouth wide open like it was going to bite you- the kids thought it was hilarious! And of course we caught the sea lion show too.

We also saw a bullfrog in the pond, and he was singing! I took some pics and made an animated gif out of him.
