Monday found us in Long Beach, visiting the aquarium with Lexi and Theo! The kids seemed to learn a lot this time, and we had fun despite no stroller.
Since I didn’t bring the stroller, I opted to leave my real (heavy) camera at home and just made do with my phone.
Vicki and I brought art supplies for the kids to sketch their favorite sea creatures.
This time we finally convinced Janie to touch the sea stars.
the penguin tank is always a favorite.
Janie especially loved the Lorikeets
Studying water run-off paths from the mountains, through LA, into the ocean. Note that we need a model for this since they haven’t really been able to observe rainfall that much in the past six years!
They petted a lot of sharks and rays.
