Monterey Bay Aquarium

Last Tuesday we decided to head down to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Gammie (Heather's mom), Aunt Jen (Heather's sister) and Madi (Jen's daughter - Em & Allie's cousin)

We got to watch Diver Dan (I think his real name was Paul) feed the Kelp forest, which all the kids sat 20 minutes for! It was amazing to watch the sharks and fish eat from his hand.



There are touch tanks at the aquarium which both girls enjoyed - I think Allie just liked splashing, but she was fascinated with the kelp!



After only an hour and a half, all the girls (big girls included!) were ready for lunch. We left the aquarium and then headed to a local park for a picnic, which was chaos until we got the food out and the kids fed! After lunch we played for about an hour and then headed home - thankfully the kids napped in the car!
