I forgot to mention that I’m planning a story about this for the Daily Journal. I may want to call Kennedy for a quote!

I went on the link trip with my daughter katie and we had a great time.
Mrs. akins has the most well behaved group of children ever.
The kid’s all got a big kick out of sleeping in the aquarium tunel and so did the adults.
Thank you Mrs. akins

I went to the Georgia Aquarium and I had a wonderful time. I had fun at the touch pool because I have always wanted to touch a shark and a stingray. I had fun spending the weekend at the Georgia Aquarium with my friends, Emily, Rebecca, Caroline, Katie, Rachel, and Kennedy. I also had fun with my dad and my Aunt, Leigh Akins. My favorite part was seeing the Beluga Whales and the four Whale Sharks.Itwas so wonderful to see a real jelly fish. I loved going to the Georgia Aquarium. I will never forget what I experienced that weekend. Thanks to everyone who helped us to get to go!

My daughter Maggie and I enjoyed our trip to the Georgia Aquarium. It was an excellent educational opportunity for the students and parents as well. Not only was it educational, but lots of fun too! Maggie said that her favorite part was sleeping in the tunnel with the fish swimming all around her. She also liked the Beluga whales because they were trying to talk to them when they got up close to the glass. Overall, it was an awesome trip and a great opportunity for our students. I enjoyed getting to spend time with several of the students from my third grade classroom as well as spending time with my daughter. Thanks to Mrs. Akins for putting this trip together and providing such a wonderful learning experience.

My daughter Karley went on this trip and had the most wonderful experience. Karley is still talking about the trip! It was a wonderful as well as a great educational experience for all of the children. The children got to do alot of hands on, which they will always remember. Karley really liked getting to sleep in the tunnel, while the fish swam above them. I would like to Thank Mrs. Akins for making this trip possible for them.

My daughter Jessica and I went on the trip to the Georgia Aguarium. It was the most awesome experience! It was very educational but also alot of fun. The leader for our group made sure that we all learned about the whales, sharks and other fish but also had lots of fun. The best part of the visit was the “after hours” tour which allowed the students hands-on experiences with the fish. Thank You to Leigh Akins for providing the opportunity for this wonderful trip.
