That's why we love the aquarium
The aquarium is on the way home from Spanish school, so we stop by reasonably often to hang out for a little while. Today was a particularly awesome visit.
First off, the octopus was crawling all around her tank (staff have told me she's a she). She was a dark red-rust color, which is a little unusual. A couple of minutes later her body was almost entirely yellow with lines of the rust still crisscrossing through it. And though the skin on her body is usually fairly smooth, this time she had 2-3 inch leaf-shaped projections sticking out all over. Very cool.
Over at the stingray touch tank, Henry and Luke were having fun splashing in the water for a while when the stingrays decided they wanted some love from the crowd. They were swimming right up and bringing their bodies up in the water so you didn't even have to reach down to touch them. Emmett ran over to get in on it, and we all pet the stingrays today - even Henry (and me!).
