long beach aquarium

Today we went to the long beach aquarium with our friends Sarah, Adam, Anne and Austin. I wasn't sure Laila would be at all interested but I was pleasantly surprised at the interest she took in the fish and other creatures. At first she was very nervous/unsure about the displays...I think she thought she was going to fall into the water or something. But, she quickly figured out she was safe and started to become quite interested. There was a whole outdoor section with shallow water where the kids could actually stick their hands in and pet little sharks and rays. Laila wasn't quite big enough to reach down and touch them but she did stick her hands in the water and splash a little bit. Overall we had a really fun time!
