One more Pic


I forgot about this pic. I liked the Jelly's, but i wanted to have Sam sit on the ledge that was there and pose right in front of them, but he didn't want to get to close to them. Oh well i'll settle for this pic!!

Fun day at the Aquarium

We had the pleasure to take our cute little nephew to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Longbeach. (We were supposed to take Maeby too, but she was sick). Of course i didn't check the battery in the camera which was almost dead and did die on us so i had to revert to my phone. These pictures were all taken on my phone. We had a lot of fun even though it was a lot smaller then i expected. Sam really liked it. Only bad part of the whole day is that i got bitten by one of the birds. Evil Bird. All of the sudden it just clamped onto my thumb and wouldn't let go. I was shaking it to get it off, but it wasn't letting go, even by that time it was upside down. I couldn't really freak out about(which Jake said that i hardly showed that it was biting me) cuz Sam was right there and he was already a little frightened about the birds. He didn't want to get very close to them and i didn't want him to be afraid of birds for the rest of his life. The bird was most likely just trying to get the nectar that spilled onto my thumb earlier, but i still say it was an evil bird!

This is the Evil Bird. See how it's already looking at my thumb! This was taken right before it bit me. This is as close as Sam would get to the birds!!

This bird was a good little birdie! (i don't know how the pic turned out like that, but i like the colors)


A bunch of Seahorses. I thought they were cool!

See all the baby sharks on top of each other. Yeah we got to pet those.

I think Sam was trying to grab one!


Too bad there weren't sharks that were actually this size there. We did see some big sharks, but nothing that big.
We also got to pet bat rays which was really cool cuz they would come right up to you saying pet me! I don't have pictures on here cuz that was on my real camera and I haven't gotten those pics off yet.
We ended up eating at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant that is across the street from the Aquarium. It was fun. They quiz you on Forrest Gump Stuff and try and make it a fun experience. Since i don't eat sea food i had a nice hamburger which i shared with Sam. Jake had a whole lot of different type of shrimp and Sam tried some too. Overall it was a good day!!
