As you can see our family had a wonderful family outing on Saturday. The girls had been so good and we hadn't done anything for a while so we decided to take them to an Oceanographic Museum that is fairly close to us. They have great touch tanks there for the girls to touch sting rays and other sea life. This happened to be their favorite. There is a huge pool with a very shallow part where the girls could lean over and touch the stingrays. I have to admit I had never touched one before, and to be quite honest it was very neat. They actually love to be touched. They would come up and wait for you to pet them. The girls were fascinated.
Bailey loved to touch them the most. She was not afraid at all. She spent a good 45 minutes just hanging over the side and waiting for the big ones(Mamma ones) or the baby ones to come and let her touch them. Aislynn was a little leary. She would put her hands in the water when she knew they were very far away. As soon as they started to come up to her hand area she would pull them out really fast and say "oooh gross".
Here she is admiring them from afar. She loved to look at them though and loved to see their tails and bodies. She just doesn't want to touch one anytime soon.
They also had a great little activity center where the girls could touch shells and rocks and other sea life things. They had magnifying glasses that the girls loved. There was so much for two busy hands to do.
Here is daddy reassuring the girls about the stingrays. He had a great time too. It was so much fun. It was also a beautiful day and the breeze was very cool. We then went on a nature walk and tired the girls and mamma out for the day. There are more pics to come. It was a good family day.

That's it! We're on the next flight to Florida... what fun you guys are having! We are finally getting some really nice spring weather up here, but nothing that would have my kids running around in shorts, like yours. The Stingrays sure look neat. Eliza would love that. At least, she enjoyed it when we were in Sea World 2 years ago.
Hey how about some pictures of you, Trina? You've gotta be looking cute and preggers about now!!
