The Acquarium

Saturday morning we took the kids to the Long Beach Aquarium. We met our friends Larry and Chantel and their kids and romped around looking at fish and birds and seals for a few hours. It was so much fun! Maddie and William LOVED it! There was so much to see and do. William loved the bird cage. Not sure how else to describe it but a big netted cage that you entered and cool birds flew all around you. Mike fed them nector and got one to sit on his arm. Wil thought that was pretty cool.
Maddie and Wil got to play with these fun, pretend starfish and octopus. I knew it was time to move on when Wil started to put the squishy octopus in his mouth and the teenage girl behind the table nervously told him not to put it in his mouth.
Here is Maddie with her friends Sophia and Larry. We were waiting in line to see the 3D fish movie.
Maddie said this was her favorite part of the aquarium. The movie. That is so like her. It was really cute. Mike said he looked over at her and Maddie was reaching out trying to grab the 3D characters coming at her.
Maddie and Sophia fed the birds too. We all had such a great time. The aquarium is such a fun thing for the kids and adults too! I look forward to taking the kids again soon.
