Seaside Aquarium

Seaside has a cute little aquarium that we went to. They have seals that you are able to feed, an octopus, weird sealife, a touch tank, and starfish the girls loved picking up.

We started out at the aquarium at the seals. You were able to buy food to feed them, but we didn't buy any because Alden was too little to truly enjoy it.



He loved watching the seals do their tricks. Jumping up on the rock, swimming their backs, diving for food...



Then, we went and checked out the octopus



I think the octopus is ugly and nasty and creepy. Alden wasn't quite sure about it either.



We then found a weird eel type fish. I'm not sure if it was an eel, but it looked like one. Alden fell in love with it.



We sat at that tank for almost 5 minutes while he stared and tried to touch it.





It sure was an ugly little creature.



We found another tank with a different octopus in it. It showed us it's underbelly which was interesting to look at.



The girls really enjoyed the touch tank. They were able to pick up different animals and feel them.



Of course, me being a germaphobe, I made them REALLY wash their hands after handling the fish and animals.

It was a fun trip to the aquarium.
