First visit to the Aquarium

Tatum had her first trip to the Long Beach Aquarium on Friday and couldn't have had more fun. She loves animals and was very intrigued by the birds, sharks, sting rays and fish.

Mattie has a pass to the aquarium so she's a frequent visitor and was able to show Tatum around. Here Mattie explains the wonders of a boat and the trickiness of steering one. No need to see over the steering wheel, it's all by feeling. :)

This was a hilarious moment. The girls were on the boat and a boy made one of the nearby sea creatures spray them with water. This was Tatum's reaction. Jenny and I just stood aside and laughed, we're such mean mommies but it was so funny. Tatum started to cry and I asked her what was wrong and she said, "Mean boy!" and pointed toward the boy next to the creature. Oh Tatum, it's only water.

All in all, we had a fabulous first visit to the aquarium and will definitely have to return. Thanks Mattie and Jenny for a fun day!
