On Wednesday, December 5th we took our cousin Amanda and the girls to the Seattle Aquarium for her last day in Seattle. The girls had a ball!! We visited all the exhibits and went and had lunch at Ivar's and then came back to the Aquarium to see our favorites again.

Mama helping Avery touch a sea star that was in the tide pools. We got to touch sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and several other slimy creatures. Danielle and Aunty Krissy are touching a sea star too.

The female octopus was getting fed. She took the bait a lot quicker than the male!
