Fun with fishes - my 2nd birthday treat

On Wednesday 23rd April 2014 I went with Mummy and Daddy on a big adventure.  It was a treat for my second birthday.

We got up early and got the train from Shrewsbury to Birmingham New Street.  We managed to get seats but the train was very busy, so was Birmingham New Street Station.  

We arrived just after 10.25 am and met up with my godmother, Aunty Angharad and her children, Eleanor and Jacob.  Uncle Martin could not come as he was at work.  We will have to make sure he comes next time we go!!

First we had to find a Starbucks as Daddy needed his morning coffee!!  I had some juice and a tub of fruit.  Then we went for a walk to find where we were going.  After getting a bit confused we found the Sea Life Centre.  My clever Mummy had pre-booked tickets so we could walk passed a long queue of other families.  It was really exciting.

We all had a look at some of the tanks of fish including some small sharks and lots of penguins.  You could see into the penguins tank and watch them playing on the ice.  Then you could walk and look at them swimming under the water. 

By now it was lunch time and I was feeling hungry.  We got our hands stamped (so we could go back in later) and went to the Slug and Lettuce for lunch.  I had some lovely fish fingers and chips. 

We went back to Sea Life Centre and saw the rest of the exhibits.  The jellyfish and the huge turtles were my Mummy's favourites.  Like my Uncle Martin I liked the penguins best.  We also saw some otters, clown fish, and hammer head sharks.  I was very brave and stroked a crab and a star fish.

Soon it was time to come home and I was very sleepy.  I fell asleep on the train in Birmingham and woke up in Shrewsbury.  I had a really lovely day and I've got Tyler Turtle to cuddle as a memory.
