My weekend: Part 2

The Living Planet Aquarium

We were trying to figure out what to do to waste some time.  This is where we ended up.  It was a great aquarium and all of my kids enjoyed it.

Here is where you can touch...sea stars, sharks, sea urchin,  rays. 
And my most memorable moment of the aquarium:  when you touch a sea urchin it has movable spines that will touch your finger.  Very neat! 



Logan is as big as an Emperor Penguin!
I had no idea they were this big.

*By far the world’s largest penguin species, emperor penguins can grow up to 4 feet tall and weigh more than 80 pounds! It is the only Antarctic animal that breeds during the harsh winter, when hundreds or even thousands of penguins huddle together in colonies for warmth. Every year, pairs of emperor penguins dutifully raise a single chick. Male penguins incubate the egg for two months without eating a single meal, while females forage for food. They take over child-rearing duties when the females finally return.



This was the jaws of some pre-historic shark in which I could try and remember the name and you all could have a little laugh.
The girls giving some "scared" faces!
