Sleeping with the Fishes

Our Girl Scout troop had the fun experience this past weekend of sleeping at Siam Ocean World, Bangkok's aquarium. Like many modern aquariums, Ocean World has the long walk-through tubes that go under the tanks, and this is where we slept after an evening spent touring the place.
Kicked off the night with live theatre!
The girls had a blast! The night included a behind-the-scenes tour, glass-bottom boat ride over the shark tank, a trip to the gift shop (of course), 5D movie, a craft, and sleeping with the sharks and rays gracefully swimming overhead.
Our troop of 8 girls and were wonderful companions, as well as 3 moms who joined. Everyone listened, participated, ate, slept, and was responsible for their things. Love it!
 Feeding frenzy. You can tell the guide gets a kick out of it EVERY time.
 All our girls.


 Launching off to admire the man-eating (not really) sharks from above!
 5D movie- The Little Prince.
 It wasn't a great night for sleeping, but it was nice to have the sea life to watch at various times throughout the night and early morning. That's a plus!
On Saturday, after a 4.5 hour nap, I was ready to function again. Well worth the fun we had with our girls!
