Aquarium of the Pacific


We drove down to Long Beach on Memorial Day and went to The Aquarium of the Pacific.

It had a neat pool where you could pet rays and sharks! The rays are slimy, but the sharks are surprisingly rough. They really feel like sandpaper! I never knew that.

Donovin wanted to go swimming SO bad! He kept telling me "Mom, I wanna wide da sawt" or, "Mom, I want to ride the shark!"


Halle thought it was really neat to be able to handle the larakeets, and all was going well until...

this evil bird got stuck in her sweater and started trying to gnaw her arm off! Tyler tried to gently pull it off, but of course the bird would bite him as soon as he grabbed it. He finally got it off, and we decided we'd seen enough of the larakeets.

Hello giant spider crab!

Aww! Seahorses! They are Halle's newest favorite animal.


We walked around outside for a few minutes before heading to a freind's house for a BBQ. We had a great day together.
