THE SEASIDE AQUARIUM and GIFT STORE!`

As stated in my previous post, we planned on going to the Seaside Aquarium and THAT WE DID!`
There is a little gift store just inside the main entrance and as I entered, I found these two trying hands on their hands (well technically fingers)  and cute little finger puppets. 
CUTE COUSINS!`

You can purchase food to feed the seals....evidently, it stinks! lol

Even the adults enjoyed the little critters....
Maybe more than the little kids!

Mara looked like she was trying to get as far away from that stinky fish food as she could! 

Tony and I got a big kick out of Mara's comments when she was looking at the fish!
And she was so serious!! 

Michael (Sophia's boyfriend), Sophia, Traci, Isabel, Scotlyn, Scott and Caden
All standing around the octopus  tub!

Andrew and Hawkins
Checking things out!

Tony and Mara.
 She's pointing out  and describing something very interesting about the Octopus !

According to Mara, he has sparkles!`

She liked to look but she wasn't about to touch ....and this was the part of the aquarium where you could! lol

Ari and Tristan loved it !

Mara points and says
"Are you really gonna pick that up?"

Scotlyn, the animal lover....
ANY ANIMAL!
SERIOUSLY!`

Traci even got into it!  
LET ME AT THAT STARFISH!`

Traci also helped the kids trace the
aquarium animals onto paper!

Mara was totally into it!

We finished our morning at the Aquarium  Gift Store where  Sawyer picked
out a pink octopus for one of his Birthday gifts!`

Michael and Sophia!
Aren't they cute together!

Andrew was intrigued with the toys that fit on his fingers!
Octopus tentacles this time! lol

And when we finished our time in the Aquarium,
we got a family photo on the beach!
