This was going to be more about seahorses

August 16, 2009 by Jen

On Friday my son’s school had a pupil free day which means his teachers had a day of staff development. When I went to school I wonder if staff development existed back then or whether they just did it during our holidays.

Rather than just hang around here doing the normal procrastinating I thought we should go and do something. I suggested the museum, the art gallery – he suggested a movie – and after a bit of research on the internet we settled on the Seahorse Farm at Port Adelaide. Excellent, I thought, I’ll get some great photos there. Except I didn’t because you’re not allowed to take photos.

So you’ll just have to take my word for it that we saw lots of seahorses including baby seahorses, a pregnant dad seahorse, a leafy sea dragon, and even some little sharks. We also patted a little shark – the skin felt quite rough.

It didn’t take that long to watch the video and have a look around in there so we went for a bit of a wander nearby afterwards.

I was very lucky to get this photo of him as he’s becoming a very reluctant model these days.

But then he gets into a shot when I don’t want him to and this shot reminds me that I need to cut his fingernails.

I really like visiting Port Adelaide as it’s one of the older parts of Adelaide and the buildings are a testament to this.

It was a good way to spend a few hours on a warm winter’s afternoon.

    With you on the student free days – we never had them as kids.

    I remember researching seahorses when ‘Salina was intriged at one point – they are truly amazing.

    Do you know I have not had to cut ‘Salina’s nails since she was 3? Hmmm, yes, its not a selling point, is it?

    Weird that you couldn’t take photos???

    No student free days for me either, as a kid!
