The DEC Fish Aquarium is Open For the Season!

We look forward to the aquarium opening every year. It is fun seeing the fish that come out of the lake and river. We walked down yesterday and today when we went for a walk after Ava's kindergarten screening, Ava asked to go back, so we did.Here is a Lake Sturgeon. Sturgeon are prehistoric fish and they can grow to 80 lbs!
We got to see bass, long nose gar, bow fins, and bullhead to name a few.

Brendan loves watching the fish swim around but he really likes watching the bubbles from the filter.
Here is Ava in front of the DEC's research boat. I don't know why it looks like she is dancing. I'm not sure what she was doing.
