Sleeping with the Sharks

Reagan's Girl Scout Troop had an overnight activity at Ripley's Aquarium.  They got to sleep with the sharks.  It was a great program full of art, learning, eating and a little sleeping!
Ready to go!
 The scouts brave enough to sleep with the sharks!

 the sting rays were huge!

 The craft was an ancient art form called fish printing

 After sleeping in the tunnel with the sharks, we awoke the next morning to learn about penguins.  Reagan's favorite penguin was named Maggie
 Learning about white spotted bamboo sharks.  Reagan (correctly) answered almost every question the educator asked.  She says she wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up!
