Crescent City Aquarium, Second Visit

On our way home, we drove to the Crescent City Aquarium. It was great fun--again! The kids are playing so nice--look how cute!

You can really see poor Dora's eye here. My little baby! She had a great time with Lerdleluh.

But as much as she loves grandma, it's DAD whose shoulders she usually perches upon. This is just so classic of how she looks up there.

The kids really enjoyed the sea lion show.

See how close we were? Look at Dora's little red shoes dangling...

And we got to pet starfish, anemones, sea slugs, hermit crabs, etc. Their tidal pool is really neat. Dora wasn't as scared of it this time.

There's my mom holding some kind of sea slug.

The starfish were really pretty--some soft, some crunchy. They apparently will eat each other--ick! Don't worry though--their limbs regenerate.

A shark tried to eat Eli, but he was pretty good natured about it... Dad saved him.

Then the same shark almost got Dora!

Here's where we pet the sharks.

Here's where the shark ate us all!!

See? I was there.
