Last Week - the Aquarium

We had several fun doings last week.  Fun for Camden, at least.  Ethan is just delighted if someone pays attention to him, whatever our surroundings are.  He doesn't much care where we go, as long as he has a smiling face directed his way, and a nice crinkly toy to chew on.

But for Camden's edification and my own personal enjoyment, we went to the aquarium with my good friend Lisa and Camden's friend Zachary.

The boys were quite excited about the turtle display.  

That is a lot of turtles!!

Camden was mesmerized by these large fish.  I am sure I should have educated myself better by reading the placards, but I was more concerned that Camden might fall from the ledge he is sitting on.  I think these were game fish.  

Ethan, saying, why aren't you more focused on me?!

They had beaver there!  I've never seen a beaver before.  Camden didn't really care.

He was too busy climbing the stream fish display nearby.

Camden is saying, "I touched it with my hand!"  This is the touchable stingray tank.

 I was impressed by the number of water exhibits that encouraged the kids to touch the animals.  I'm thinking the sea cucumbers there were a little different than our Okinawa versions that would squirt their guts at you.

Anyway, it was a fun time.  And I think we'll have to go with my friend again sometime.  Because, not only is she great company and her son is Camden's good friend, but she has a pass that lets us in for free.  :)  Thanks, Lisa!
