Aquarium of the Pacific





Talia and Tucker had Veteran's Day and the Friday after off from school. Trent took that Friday off and we went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. It was a fun day and the Aquarium was great. There was lots to see and learn and they had 3 touch tanks. Talia and Tucker loved being able to touch the Bat Sting Rays. The Sting Rays would get excited and come up out of the water so that they could pet them. It was amazing. Tucker enjoyed the Diamond Sting Ray and Tiger Shark touch tank as well but Talia was a little a nervous about touching the sharks and larger Sting Rays. We were able to watch several of the marine animals being fed and watched the Sea Lions doing tricks. We fed some Lorakeets and Trent got pooped on twice. The birds liked him a lot! It was a very fun day and I am so glad we were able to spend it together.

How fun! The rays in our touch tank avoid you and it's hard to touch them. That sounds great!
