Cali Day Five and a Half - Heal the Bay!

After the beach, Bridget sliced her big toe pretty badly so we went to the police station. Inside the station they had a collection of patches. There was a patch from OUR county on it! We felt so cool.
Then we walked over to the play area and grabbed some limeade!


 Then it was time for the aquarium to open. :)
While we were there we met a family who was visiting FROM Arvada! Small world!


 75% of the aquarium was hands on. Several touch pools and things for the kids to do.



 They had a really awesome laboratory too. Lucas did every experiment and filled out the lab documents and won a Jr. Marine Biologist Badge. 




After that the kids got to FEED the starfish.
Here is the video about starfish!
Its long, but if you want to know about how they eat...here is the whole demo!

Then the kids got to feed the Horn Sharks. THE HORN SHARKS!!!
 Mason thought it was PUNNY. Hahaha.
Juliet loved the Shark Nursery.

We were here for two hours!
We left SaMo at 3:17pm.
We hit 4 accidents BEFORE the freeway.
There was so much traffic we didn't get home until after, yes after 7pm.

Every time I think "I love CA, I wish we lived here!" the universe slaps me in the face with the traffic and the frustrations with it. Each kid was able to eat a fun emergency snack (I had in the car) and we watched a movie. It was FOREVER long, and trust me, we don't have thoughts of moving here for awhile. LOL.
