Long Beach Aquarium

We all met up at the Long Beach Aquarium to celebrate Grandpa Bob's Birthday. Angie loves spending time with family. Here she is with Uncle Cameron.
Wow Angie, that is one Giant Sea Bass!
That sure is a lot of teeth.
I got to feed the rays.
Aunt Darby got to feed the rays as well.

Here is video of Darby feeding the not so smart rays.
Next we went to the touch tanks. Angie gets to use her curiosity.

Video of Angie at the touch tanks.
Mommy shows Angie the beauty of jellies.
Such beautiful colors in nature.
Watch out for that shark Grandpa Bob!

Sharks are really beautiful animals.
We learned what the formal name for Dory was.


I find rays to be such fascinating creatures. They feel so slimy and look very unique especially from below. Somehow they just look happy to me.

Angie enjoy's watching "Mr Ray".
Angie gets up close to "Mr Ray", can you tell that she loves Finding Nemo?

Such interesting and unique animals. You can hear Angie point out Dory in this video.
Then we found the Finding Nemo treasure. It was a whole tank filled with Dorys, Nemos and Marlins!

Angie waves to Nemo and Dory in this video.
We learned some interesting things about what fish can do.
I have to say that the tropical tanks were my favorite. I just love all the colors displayed in nature.
A pretty frog.
A seahorse that looks like seaweed.
We got a little family photo with so many photographers around.
Then we went out to Island's for dinner. Here Angie is showing Grandpa Bob and Grandma Kris her mad game playing skills on the "cell".
Then we had a group photo taken on our way out. It was a very busy but fun day! Happy Birthday Grandpa Bob, thanks for the excuse to celebrate.

That was so fun. I should take you guys to the Scrips Aquarium so that we can make a comparison.
