Today we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. Having only heard that this place was small and not that exciting (so not true) I had been putting off taking the kids. We decided to go because of the horrible weather (it snowed and was cold). It turned out to be alot of fun. At first Isaac kept saying how boring it was and that he thought we were going fishing. As we continued through the exhibits they got more and more excited. The kids loved the Jelly Fish and learned alot about them. Their favorite part of the Aquarium had to be the Stingrays in the touch pool. The kids were all scared to touch them, but Aubrey finally got enough courage and then she was hooked. When we were about to leave Isaac finally touched one and was so proud of himself. Near the touch pool was a play area that looked like a coral reef. The kids all loved playing there and it gave Heather and me a chance to sit. I highly recommend going!
Would you just let us go in!
"This is boring! I thought we were going fishing."
Having fun driving the boat.
Not so sure about this. Aubrey was positive they were going to sting her.
I couldn't believe Aubrey was the first to touch one. Isaac is usually the brave one.
This was the highlight of the trip for Maddie. She got to get out of her stroller.
Moon Jellies
Giant Pacific Octopus - he started moving around when we got to him. I would not like to meet one of these in the ocean.
Lionfish - Heather and I thought this fish was pretty cool, but couldn't find the name of it. Well now we know.

What a fun spring break. I've always wondered about the Aquarium. You are much more ambitious and creative than I have been this week. We've been to 3 different parks for picnics this week, but that's about it!
