Seattle Aquarium

 

Piper was sick last Saturday when we were going to take her to the aquarium for her birthday, so when health and weather cooperated, we headed out again. Papa Jim joined me and the kids, mostly under the guise of a pack horse, for our adventure down on the city’s waterfront.   

 

 

 

Kyla is proud of being a big sister and a huge helper.  I’m proud of her, too!  Unfortunately, Wesley knows when Mama is not pushing the stroller and he has opinions about that.

 

The tidal pools were great.  Where else can you pet a starfish, stick a finger into a sea urchin, and then suck those very fingers?  Yahoo.

 

If I may confess, fish get a bit boring watch, but we loved the otters!

 

Silly octopus!

 

Aquarium entrance for 1 adult, 2 kids (Wes is free) with Microsoft Prime card, approximately $24 (instead of $46). With $11 parking, a total of $35.

This is about $30 too much.  We’ll stick with the zoo, and wait another 5 years before hitting the pier again.  But Wesley and Piper did both snore all the way home!
