We took a field trip this week to the aquarium on the pier. My mom was so cool to come along with us on our adventure. She climbed and scooted wherever Beach Bunny and the boys wanted to go. I've got the best mama in the world!
We looked at jellyfish, watched tiny shark embryos swim around in their egg cases, touched baby sharks (called pups) and prickly starfish, and laughed at ugly crabs. We even saw an octopus guarding her eggs. She didn't want her picture taken, though. I think she was having a bad hair day.
These were my favorite pictures...
I love the look of amazement on Goofy Foot's face.
The eggs take nine months to hatch, just like a human baby. The embryos were swimming around like crazy inside their egg cases.
No brain, yet somehow jellyfish communicate.
Sounds similar to the teenage years, huh?
(Pictures taken on my good ol' fashioned point and shoot, but edited to bring them back to life!)

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

Those pictures can not be with a point and shoot....they are awesome! My point and shoot never turns out that well.
I'm glad you guys had such a great time...I love the Aquarium!
You asked about the candy. I am {trying} to lose weight so I was good and only bought two pieces for myself ...of course it was chocolate!! But my crazy kids picked sprees and jellybeans. Who goes to a homemade candy store and does not buy something homemade??
That jellyfish picture at the end is amazing!!! Nice editing work!
Very cool jellyfish shot! And on a point and shoot, nonetheless! Impressive. :)
Those pics are SUPER! What a fun time that must have been!
Love and Prayers,
