Day 2- Aquarena Springs and Wonder World

On Saturday morning we headed to San Marcos to check out Aquarena Springs. Jer went there as a kid when the mermaids and swimming pigs were a part of the attractions. They are no longer there... but the glass bottom boats and the springs are still something to check out!
We saw a few of the thousands of springs that form the headwaters of San Marcos river. Jer and Eli with Spring Lake behind them
We stepped inside the aquarium and Eli was amazed at the big fish!

We really enjoyed the glass bottom boat. Eli kept saying "row row" as we floated across the water...
This submarine was once the underwater theatre. Back in 1997 they stopped the theatre show because it was leaking. By the looks of the pictures it was really cool. They had "mermaids" that ate and drank under water and a swimming pig!
Momma and her boys on the boat...
Look close... in the white area are some of the springs... bubbly sand...
Eli enjoyed watching the fish and turtles swim by under the boat!

We went to Wonder World later that afternoon...
