sick children

These are from the day we were supposed to go camping. (Which was actually before we went to the aquarium. Our pictures got a little mixed up.)


This is Piper pale and sleeping with a fever about the time we were supposed to leave. We had the car all packed ready to go. She insisted she still wanted to go, but we ended up staying home. Gage started not feeling well that afternoon and Rory was a little sick also. 



All three of them were sick and had fevers by suppertime. They spent most of the afternoon just lying around. Crosby never got sick although he had been sick the weekend before.


This is him eating his first s'more, We made them in the oven since we didn't go camping. (Rory threw up her dinner on top of her s'more.)

aqaurium 4

Touch tank. The eel like fish are engineer gobies. They will swim between your fingers and you can touch them but it's hard to get a picture of someone touching them. We also got to touch feather duster worms. They live inside a tube but stick all of their feather duster like arms out the top. If you touch the tube they pull themselves right back inside very quickly.






Gage touching a starfish.



Rory touching a sea apple (much like a sea cucumber but short and fat).




Touching horseshoe crabs.



Sharks!



The rest of these shark pictures are from in the shark tunnel. The lighting was weird and the pictures are pretty awful but you can still see how many sharks there are.






Shark touch tank. All the sharks laid on the bottom resting most of the day. They finally started swimming where we could touch them tight before we left.
