My Aquarium Visit

It was Saturday morning and my dad surprised me with a trip to the aquarium. I got to see plankton through a microscope and dozens of jellyfish glowing in the water. We saw lots of amazing animals, but we saved the best for last. At the end of the day, Dad took me to see the hammerhead sharks.

We looked down on the giant tank from above. I could make the strange shapes of the sharks' heads at they swam back and fourth. I even saw a large dorsal fin sticking out of the water, just as in cartoons and movies.

The best part was when we went in the tunnel under the tank. The tunnel was clear, so we could see everything!
