We went to the Seattle Aquarium today with Annette & her family, and Carly & Jared.
It's been a few years since we've been there - I think the last time was with April & Caleb actually, when he & Brae were little!
Ella's squeals of excitement startled quite a few people, but she was so happy!
The exhibits where the kids could touch the sea animals was a huge hit....Ella wasn't too sure at first, but by the end of our time there, couldn't get enough of it!
We had accidently left our stroller at home......so THANK YOU Carly for all your help with Ella!!!! She would hold her hand, but not mine......and let's just say that a mobile Ella is a BUSY Ella!
She was fascinated with the jelly fish...........i told the kids about when I was their age & how much I loved going out on our boat & catching jelly fish with my sister off docks we would moor at during our weekend trips to the San Juan Islands.....
Kind of an odd replica of a jelly fish.....but the kids wanted their pic taken there anyway......don't you think it should be white?
Still getting used to my new camera, so some of these indoor pics are not that good!
Shishes!!!!
Nemo, yay!!!! There was a Dori fish too, but man it swam so fast that I couldn't get a pic of it!
They literally ran from tank to tank, taking it all in.....
Striped shrimp...........Zach liked the brain coral in the background........
Another chance to touch sea anenomes......
Thanks Carly for helping Ella!
This school of fish swam over our heads......
The underwater dome................still a favorite!!!!
Brae & Connor.........
The kids with their cousins.........love them!
The seals....we got lucky & walked up at feeding time!
The 4 BEST kids in the entire world!
The octopus.........same tank as when we first got there, but it was finally out.....we were told it usually hides........Cannon & Cady posing!
One last chance to touch a star fish!
It was a fun day, thanks Annette & Chance for letting us tag-along!
