Long Beach Aquarium!

So my fellow Sweet Pea friend, Tassie and her family were down from Washington to visit some friends in Long Beach. The kids had that Friday off school due to President's Day so we finally were able to go on a long-awaited trip to the Long Beach Aquarium. They were down here a few years ago, but we couldn't arrange to get together so this was the day it finally happened! Another mom and her little guy joined us and it was fabulous!

Thankfully, my sturdy minivan seats 8!

Tassie and I are secretly arranging a double wedding for Peter and Savannah, and Caroline and Baden. At least we know we'd like the in-laws! And we'd save some money ;-)

This is what happens when kids are bored waiting to go in. They attack the oldest one in the group. Peter took it in stride.

The sea urchins were fun, and a little weird to touch.

Caroline and Savannah go rock climbing.

Baden is not to be outdone by the girls.

They had a blast!

It was great to get together with Tassie and her family. Hopefully, we can make it to the Sweet Pea reunion this year!
