Marine Science Center

Kate and I took the kids to the Marine Science Center at Ponce Inlet last week. It was a neat little place, they rehabilitate turtles and sea birds there. We arrived just in time to meet "Otis", a little screech owl that had been taken from his nest as a baby and raised as a pet. Because of that, he never learned how to screech! The kids all had their picture taken with him, and were able to ask lots of questions to his handlers. The Sea Bird Sanctuary was very cool. They had several bald eagles, falcons, pelicans, and owls. The facility is not big, but perfect for a couple of hours of educational fun! Afterwards, we stopped at the park and played, then went home and grilled dinner and swam. It was Gage's first time in the pool, I think he liked it!
