Aquarium of the Pacific

We got to spend an afternoon at the Aquarium of the Pacific...What can i say but it was an experience for sure!! Not to mention that on our way down Ryya had a bloody nose...something she never gets and it wouldn't stop bleeding. After fighting heavy traffic and not being able to stop we made it after the kids kept saying this is staking forever...are we there yet? My new rule in my truck is that you can't ask these questions...or i will turn around and go home. So they now ask ask how long is the drive mom, or how more mins mom?? Which seems a little better when it comes from a four year old!! We are working on not winning...As for the bloody nose Ryya had she sneezed while at Burger King and i thought it was a large grape...Well it was a raisin, from the box she had eaten right before we left! I guess it was all my fault for not sitting her down and feeding then to her right?? She is two and it has been my worse case of the two's for sure!!Well on to our adventures....
the first aquarium....so real, it was actually built right into the side of the ocean.

Titan being so GOOD and loving LIFE!! All for of them at a look out...
seals... mommy's babies and grandpa's

Seals surrounding us and they would chase you around and around...

SHARKS ATTACKS.....I was so glad at times that the glass was 4" think!!

Us being silly...

L*A*R*G*E / K*I*N*G / L*O*B*S*T*E*R*S

Jelly fish just like in the movie shark tales...

Crab rides...


Did you know that Nemo's really start out black and then turn orange when they get older..

Fish rides "T" loved it!!


All in all it was so much fun and I never heard the end of "NEMO, MOMMY NEMO"
Ryya thought every fish we saw was Nemo and it was so cute to see her get so excited so many time. Mason asked me when we saw the whales if this really was Willy? I thought it was pretty cute!!
