Florida Aquarium, but mostly LEMURS!!!!

Well, last summer Jeff and I went on an adventure out to the Florida Aquarium for the first time and got to play with an amazing penguin, while exploring the aquarium we passed signs for an upcoming 2014 expansion "Journey to Madagascar" with a photo of a lemur and, well, I knew we'd be back....

So here we go... Journey to Madagascar is now open and home to three super awesome Ring-Tailed Lemur's and the adorableness began...

Oooh man, here we go!

Aww, lemur lemur lee-mur!

It was snack time!

And time to climb/bounce around!

(lemur lemur lee-mur)

 And make adorable faces!!

(lemur lemur lee-mur)

And snack some more!

lemur lemur lee-mur!!!

After being slightly over-stimulated by these super awesome animals... it was off to the other side of Tampa to see the new IMAX Film, "Island of Lemurs: Madagascar" playing at the MOSI. wooo!

Oh yeah, and there are fish and stuff (and ducks!) to see at the aquarium but that's already been covered (here)

woo

Florida Aquarium, but mostly Cliff the penguin!

Yaayyyyyyy! It may have taken nearly five years, but I visited the Florida Aquarium... Annddd I got to play with a little African Penguin named Cliff!

Ok, photos and stuff.

Woo, the Florida Aquarium

Damn, were a bit too early for their new LEMUR LAND! 

Guess we'll be back in 2014 :D

also, both of these signs amused me.....

Tellin' it like it is, I guess.

Turtles, yup

Shh, its ducky nap-time....

This lobster thing was out of control.

SO IS THIS LADY WHO IS HOLDING A GATOR..s...FACE

She was screaming about not petting gators in the wild, or something. 

Once I saw the photo I had to leave (couldn't stop laughing)

Black-necked Stilt!

Florida natives and super cool. I want one for a pet.

Oh yeah, and it's an aquarium.. so they have fish (and legos)

They've got sharks too.

Yup, sharks.

and little Sea-Horses too!

(They had leafy seadragons too, but they weren't fully on display yet)

Shout out to the New England Aquarium! NEAQ woo!

And because its hot here, they even have a little waterpark out back!

but.... more importantly.....

they have this....

Oh man!

Ooooh mannnn

Yeesss!!!!

CLIFF! the awesome little African Penguin I got to play with!!!!!

(video below)

yaayyy!!!!

So yeah, the Florida Aquarium

Its pretty neat and I'll be having to go back once their non-Floridian RINGTAILED LEMURS are on display!! And the aquarium is AZA so that's good too.

Also, I should have a second post coming in the next day or two and I've still got stuff from June and July that will go up at some point, woo.
