Trip to the Aquarium

Last weekend, we took Max to Kattegat Center, an aquarium built right on the harbor of a town about an hour from here, Grenaa. All the tanks are filled with all sorts of fun species you can find in the waters off the coast of Denmark. They also have touch pools with flounders, crabs, small rays and sharks and a really great shark-tunnel. The sharks were definitely the absolute favorite, as were "the Diapers" - which is Max for "the Divers" that swim around in the main tank feeding the fish. Needless to say, Max is nuts about things that swim these days - especially "SARKS and DIAPERS!"


The aquarium is just as cool outside as it is inside. Here is a video of Max playing outside with all the cool sea creatures and the water mazes. Around the corner from where we were was where the seals live and just behind us is the Kattegat; the rough water inlet off the east coast that empties out into both the North Sea and what the Danes call the East Sea.

Sorry about the wind in the camera.... it's Denmark.
