To celebrate both boys achievements in school, we went to Monterey after school was over. Nicholas visited the aquarium when he was very young but I doubt he remembered much of it. We also stopped by the beach right next to Fisherman's Wharf and the kids had a blast building sand figures and forts.
Here are pictures from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Mackenzie really enjoyed looking at all the different type of fishes. She was very amazed at the jelly fishes. This year, they have a new exhibit called the Secret of the Seahorses and it was really cool. Mackenzie did get freaked out near the manta rays. There was this one exhibit where water splashed over the tunnel. She and the boys were inside the tunnel and the water splashing freaked her out.
The boys also had lots of fun too. There was a play area for them. They got to stamp all kinds of different sea animals on their brochure, and got to touch lots of sea creatures.
