On Monday, we took a field trip day up to Santa Barbara! First up, the Ty Warner Sea Center. We love this little museum out on the SB pier. Since we’re studying oceans in science this year, we did a lot of observing and talking to the docents about the various sea creatures.
As always, it was so fun to pet the baby sharks.
Their touch pools are full of all sorts of cool sea life!
The girls loved touching the sea urchins because they give your fingers a hug!
They also got to hold some little hermit crabs.
Elizabeth and I agreed that our favorites are the sea stars!
Tommy got to test the ph of the sea water. 7.5, just as predicted.
And at the end, they put on a little show for me.
The sea center just takes an hour and a half, so we popped into the zoo for half an hour to take advantage of our membership before we drove home.
We sure do love Santa Barbara!
I know this seems silly, but I still can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that you live in Malibu and venture off to the ocean for field trips! 🙂
