Birch Aquarium

We met our friends at the Birch Aquarium at UCSD last weekend in San Diego, too.

Here's Tommy (in motion, as always), Miles, Robby, Lizzy, and me

We love fish!

And invertebrates!  Tommy squealed with glee every time he poked this rubber sea star in the middle on it's underside.

Then we got to feel the real sea stars.  Here's a bat star...

And me at the touch pool with Henry.

Tommy kept trying to fling himself into the touch pool, so Mom decided to enjoy the view instead with him for awhile.

We were all very giggly and silly at lunch... 

And the same goes for when we were this shark's lunch. 

Here's Auntie Kimmy trapped in the shark cage with the kiddos. Mom was wondering if she's worse off inside the cage with all of us, or out?

I tried to save Robby from certain death...

And Tommy laughed maniacally every time this black tip shark swam by.

All of us could have spent hours here at this inclined current pool...

And Miles and I had fun on the see saw.

A good time with good friends.

Good, silly friends.
