Aquarium

On Tuesday we visited the Newport Aquarium, the first time in quite awhile.  We discussed the concept that some kids travel quite a ways to come but we just go down the street.  Steph predicted that there would be more interest in the fish than when the kids were little, and she was right.

This is the first time ever that Nora tried to pet a shark, would even get near the petting pool.  It just wasn't on her radar to even want to do such a thing.

Aaron was disappointed that he couldn't quite ever reach one.  I think those sharks are pretty skilled at getting oh-so-close while avoiding little fingers.  He was thrilled when he went around a corner and saw Nemo in his cylindrical tank.  Absolutely the real thing.
