Big surprise here, but the water areas were big hits yesterday! :) They always are. In fact, Emma had spent the morning telling me how we were going to see fish and sharks at the museum. I kept telling her no, that this was a museum, not an aquarium or SeaWorld. Turns out they have a HUGE aquarium here. Figures that the kid would be right... again. We went outside upstairs first and looked down into the tanks to see all the fish. Out timing was perfect too because, a few minutes after we walked out, they opened the touch table too. So we got to touch and learn about sea stars, sea cucumbers, anemones, and a sea slug. Yucky, but very cool.
Then we went downstairs and got to look back up from underneath the same tanks. Way cool. This is always fascinating to Emma. The girls spent quite a bit of time crawling around on the floor, looking up at the fish, and exclaiming every time a shark swam by. Maybe she will grow up to be an oceanographer...
After lunch we checked out the courtyard fountain and the rose gardens. I put those in a separate post though. We finished up the day with a pressed penny and a lollipop from the gift shop and some twirling through pink and purple prisms of light. It was a great day with great friends...
