Aquarium

Back in November I took a week off and since Robyn is off on maternity leave we decided to go to the aquarium. I had never been to the aquarium before and it was definitely something I would do again especially since they're getting otters January. We kind of got a late start to the day because with three kids it takes Robyn forever to get ready but it turned out OK because we left so late my mom was able to come with us. The first thing we did when we got there was go watch the peguins eat. The penguins that they have are the fastest species of penguin so it was very interesting to watch them zip around in the tank. When they were being fed it was very interesting watch them because they lined up and waited patiently for their turn to get a fish.
Doesn't this look like it would be such a delicious dinner.
We were trying to hide from my mom. It was a tight squeeze.
They had a display where you could touch different sea creatures I was a little nervous at first but none of them were slimy. It was my first time touching string ray and they were very interesting. There was one string ray that kept swimming up the side of the tank and that freaked me out everytime.

This display shocked you when you touched it and my mom refused to touch it. It was so hilarious to watch her try to get the courage to touch it. I tried to convince her by telling her that she didn't want to be shown up by a two year old because Oakley was touching it and smiling. That didn't seem to convince her and she never touched it.
