Sea Life Aquarium

Last week we decided to go do something as a family. We went to the Sea Life Aquarium in Carlsbad. Ethan had a great time and it wasn't crowded at all because Legoland was closed. (It's right next door). So we got to enjoy it very much.

The front.

They had a slide at the very beginning.

There were a lot of these bubble glasses where you could stick your head in and feel like you were in the tank with the fish. Not the best photos though.

"Touching" and octopus.

A REALLY big lobster.

Shark teeth!

There were alot of these window holes too that you could look into. As you can see, perfect Ethan size.

Lego sand castle.

Touching a sea cucumber.

Liking the sea creatures

These fish were very skinny when they turned sideways.

What's in the cannon?

Lots of sting/manta rays.

Halloween Bandit hermit crab....that's really what it's called.

"Ooh, what's that?"

Starfish

I wish my pictures could do the colors more justice.

Pokey starfish

Bubble boys

Red shrimp

Jellyfish

There was a theater where you could watch an ocean film. Jason was pretending to be asleep, and it would get Ethan to look my way so I could take his picture.

Back to touching starfish

Cool starfish

Looking good!

Tada! Ethan thought this was a stage, so we got a performance.

Sharks

Some new friends of ours...

After the aquarium, I called up Crystal to see if she could have dinner, so we went to Chili's. After that, we took the kids to Boomers! which has a HUGE playplace that the kids can play on. Ethan loves it there. We played for about an hour and then we headed home.

Oh, I forgot. While at the aquarium, I dropped my camera. My really nice camera. I thought I broke it, but it was just the filter on the front. Here is the damage:

Tired boys.

Ethan getting himself dizzy.

Elijah, Ethan, Crystal and Brielle.

We had a really fun day and it was a nice bonus that we got to see some friends too while we were down there.
