The New Orleans Insectarium and the Aquarium are a ‘must visit’ every year.
Below: To earn a hand-stamp at the Insectarium, you have to eat a bug. In addition to the cookies with bugs, there are several favors of bugs to try. Except for Oryne, our crew was eager to sample all flavors. But the hand-stamp was hard to pass up and Oryne finally ate a bug.
The Aquarium has a few residents who do not swim. Some of the birds, like the owl, are in cages. Some of the birds are allowed to fly through the exhibits. Calder was most impressed with the first place painting done by an eight year old. I agree, the winner was quite talented.
Although we didn’t take extra clothes or towels, the splash park on the Mississippi River in front of the Aquarium was hard to pass up in the Louisiana HEAT.
Below: Camp always ends by celebrating the birthdays of Calder, Beckett, and Kraemer. The splash park clothes were thrown in the dryer during dinner and the birthday celebration, then quickly stuffed in the suitcase in time to catch a late flight. Grandparents’ Camp was officially over for 2024.
