I took the kids and Noel's two friends to the Long Beach Aquarium today. It was perfect timing since we had to pick up Holly at the airport anyway.
Carissa, Shera, Luke, Noel and Aubry watched the scuba diver in the giant kelp forest tank feed the fish and sharks.

They got to touch the manta rays and sand sharks at this exhibit.
This ray slid right up the glass in front of Luke. The bottom of it looks like a big smile! The kids loved the many colors of starfish too!
This shark swam right toward the kids and they freaked out - started screaming! It had the most terrifying teeth of all the sharks in the tank!
Cool Moon Jellies!
I love this photo I got of this octopus! I directly came home and put it on my desktop!
Across from the aquarium is a Ferris Wheel we went on and we got smoothies right by there too!
We could see the Queen Mary from the top of the Ferris Wheel. It was a gorgeous day today!
When I was a little girl my dad would take me to The Pike, which was a year round carnival fun zone. They had an old wooden roller coaster too that was the most awesome thing around! That was before Magic Mountain and Space Mountain. They tore down The Pike several years ago, but apparently kept the name for this shopping mall that went in its place. It was a little nostalgic for me and I bet it is for you if you remember this place.
After we left Long Beach, we went to LAX to pick up Holly from her trip to EFY in Calgary, Canada. Then we came back to Mission Viejo and met Jeff for yummy tepan dinner at Shoguns. We missed Drew being there as he was at the church singles recharge.
Here are the kids and the shark tank!

I think it is so hard to get good pictures at aquariums, I mean for what you see in person it just doesn't seem to look the same in the pictures. You got some great pictures! What a fun day!
