At the Aquarium

We had a great time at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport.  The boys got to see and do lots of really neat things and I loved getting to watch them absorb it all.  It was an interesting place because it was set up more like a zoo, with lots of outdoor space and exhibits, just all featuring sea creatures.  Luckily it was a great day to be outdoors, slightly chilly in the morning and then perfectly mild all the rest of the day.  I'm really glad we made the trip!

They had a really neat shark tunnel.  The boys thought it was super cool.

It's not that Lucas was afraid of the shark teeth or anything, he was just having a meltdown at this point.

Check out this massive star fish (in the middle of the picture)!  One of the employees said that they found it under the boardwalk.

Daniel was really hoping to see seahorses and I'm so glad his wish could come true!

We let each kid choose a souvenir and each baby have one chosen for him.  This shark was too cute and is now a favorite crib mate of Caden's.  He loves to wrestle with it!  (Jake especially liked its evil eyes).
