Day 4

We took the kids to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach to see all the colorful fish, the divers that go into the 3 story tank to hand feed fish and play with the kids through the glass, and pet the sting rays. The kids like to see how many of the sting rays they pet since they feel slimy. When you arrive they give the kids (and adults if they want one) an information book and map. In the book there's a place every page or two to emboss a picture that has to do with an exhibit. The kids seem to be more excited embossing the books than looking at the fish this time around. This time we also let the kids feed the birds in the aviary. Paxton was so excited but he was too afraid to turn and look at the camera for fear the bird would bite him. Outside on the toys Alyssa climbed up on the boat and leaned over the front like Titanic. When Jimmie saw her he wanted a turn.
