Aquarium

We went to the aquarium today. We learned a lot about gray whales in particular. Lola loves whales and was especially interested in the differences between gray whales and humpback whales. She also loved the sharks and jellyfish. While visiting the tide pools, we learned from a staffer that one of their lobsters had recently shed its shell and was currently hiding under one of the rocks, since it was now "soft" and vulnerable to predators. Lola got to hold the discarded shell, which was cool. Another staffer picked up some starfish for the kids to touch and observe. I definitely learned some new things mysel today!
