Aquarium of the Pacific

I think she is saying, "Do you see those seals, mom? They are huge! Can I take one home?"


Today our school group had a little field trip to the aquarium in Long Beach. The price was too good too pass up so we all went. I was a little nervous about taking Audrey because lately she has been very unpredictable with sitting in the stroller. I have had to wheel her out of events while she thrashes about trying to get out of her stroller and other times she sits and enjoys the ride. You can see why I was just a tad nervous, right? Well I am happy to report that she did extremely well. Turns out she loves to watch the fish, or sea lions to be exact. She just ooohhed and ahhhhed her way all over the aquarium. She even dug the sharks. We walked around with some friends of ours and everyone enjoyed themselves. I even go to touch a sting-ray. They feel slimy and rough at the same time. The sea lions were the stars of the show. Everyone loved them the most, they were such hams.
I think we would all agree that our least favorite part was the Lorikeet exhibit. It didn't bother me as much as it did Harrison and especially Charlie but it was a little unnerving to have these birds flying all around you and landing on you if they chose to do so. Charlie made a beeline pretty quickly for the exit there! Audrey just took it all in, such a trooper.
