Early Birthday Outting

We wanted to try taking the twins to the Seattle Aquarium for their birthday (they've recently become interested in watching animals and fish in tanks), but our schedules meant that the best day to try it was actually on Sunday.
They both seemed to have a great time! We were afraid they might tire of it quickly, but they seemed to enjoy almost every exhibit the whole way through.

Here they are at one of the lower windows into the big main tank. They loved the fish swimming by, though August got a bit overzealous with pounding on the glass.

A scuba diver who was cleaning the inside of the glass had a good time playing peek-a-boo with Rose.

At the end there is a "hands on" section with some types of sea life in a shallow pool where you are allowed to put your hands in and touch them. Auggie and Rosie both dipped their hands in, with a lot of assistance. Auggie was a bit more cautious about it than Rose.
