Cabrillo Marine Aquarium

Britney, Janae, and I took our little kidlets to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium on Friday. It was a little bit of a drive, but it was free!!! We started out with a picnic on the beach. The weather here has been beautiful!Brooke, Luke, and Wyatt really liked looking at the fish, but they are toddlers, so we moved through the aquarium at a VERY fast pace. Luke and Wyatt would quickly look at one fish and then run off to the next one.
These things were probably their favorite part! They really liked putting their heads in the holes. And Lucas loved running and jumping off the platform they were standing on.
Lucas and Wyatt as crabs.
At the end we got to put our hands in a man-made tidepool. Wyatt and Brooke were very brave. They both had their hands in the pool and they were touching everything! Starfish, sea urchins, and who knows what else! Lucas didn't want to have anything to do with any of that creepy stuff, but right as we were getting ready to go, he decided he did want to touch a starfish. So we did it together. He was SO proud of himself. He kept saying, "I DID IT!!" He was really cute. But then he didn't want to leave! So we had to stick around so he could keep touching "his" starfish. (He wouldn't touch anything else). It was such a fun activity!

On Sunday we were able to go over to Rick and Janae's for a fabulous dinner. Luke, Wyatt, and Brooke played really well together! There were only a few little tiffs. :) It's very entertaining to watch them interact with each other! Cute kids!
