Florida Part 2- Feeding the Stingrays

One of the highlights of our Florida trip was a day spent at the Florida Oceanographic Society. The boys learned about sharks, turtles, manatees, and stingrays- they loved it!

Evan, Jack, and Pop-Pop listening to the docent share information about stingrays

The docent demonstrated how to feed the stingrays...

Miles loved being so close to the rays

Now it's the boys' turn to feed them!

Hello! The stingrays swam lap after lap in this pool...racing around to pick up their food.

We learned that rays like to eat shrimp, squid, and sardines. Here's Jack ready with his sardine (Miles too!)

Next we headed to the lagoon area

Here we saw sharks!

More rays

And Miles favorite- turtles!
