Aquarium Visit

Today, for FUD day (Family Unit Day) we went to the Aquarium!  Auntie Jody works there - she has a very cool job.  She gets to work with Fur Seals and Sea Lions.  We also went and toured the rest of the aquarium, which was awesome.  

Here is Aunt Jody with a fur seal pup - they have very big eyes and are quite adorable.
Here is Jody's hand very close to a sea lions mouth.  The sea lions are very interesting, and very large.  They can do all sorts of neat tricks too.  I didn't know that they were pretty easy to spook; at one point they got startled and ran away.  They are pretty big animals to be running around!  
We saw the belugas too - up close!  They came over to say hi, but Loic was asleep at this point.  They seemed as interested in us as we were in them.
Here is a shot of our Squidy next to a squid! :)  He was laughing at Jody at this point.  He had fun today and was actually looking around at things, usually he sleeps though our FUD outings. 
Aunt Jody and Loic after our visit - and after a very messy diaper change, which necessitated a whole new outfit...thank god I know how to pack a diaper bag!  He is becoming a funny little person, he smiled at Jody a lot today and is taking an interest in things around him.  I have so many things to teach him, most of them quite nerdy and science based.  Poor Loic!!  :)
