Seattle Aquarium!!!

This post is long, so I apologize in advance. But, I have to document everything that happened and post all of the adorable pictures I took so that it will be printed in the book I plan to make someday.

Last Friday, while in Washington, we spent the day on the waterfront of the Puget Sound and went to the Seattle Aquarium!

Right when you walk in there is a huge, floor to ceiling, wall to wall aquarium full of ocean life. It is amazing! The boys ran right up to take a peek!
We soon found out that it was "Octopus Week" and that there would be divers in the tank with one in moments. So we took a seat...

and enjoyed the show!Next, we made our way to the tide pools area where we could reach in and touch the sea creatures. Ryan reached right in and was touching anything and everything he could! But, Austin didn't really want anything to do with them. Auntie Sunne got him to reach in a few times, but she was the only one! Scary, they are only as big as the Shark's tail!

As we walked through, Austin and Piper found the felt board and made an underwater picture with Grandma!We continued on and found our favorite fishies in the whole place...

Dori, Nemo and Marlin!!! We walked outside across the bridge towards the seals and snapped a picture of Grandpa Ben and Grandma Patti with all three of the kiddos, Dawson slept the entire time. Look at the sea otters!!! The boys with the seal!

Ryan with the fish all around him!

After our fun at the aquarium, we walked down the waterfront to get some lunch. Justin and Ry by the fisherman!

Austin, Piper and Ryan by the Penguin. This was funny because they were all in love with the penguins they had just gotten in their happy meals.

We had a ton of fun in Seattle at the aquarium and by the waterfront. It was a beautiful and sunny day in Seattle and we can't wait to go back for another!

Next...U-Fish?!?
