San Fran - Aquarium




Friday we went to the Aquarium of the Bay that is right on Fisherman's Wharf. In the morning was an "Aquatots" program for kids 2-5. Colin and Nathan got to see baby sting rays (Colin asked if they sting) and do some art projects with stamps and paint. It was nice for the kids to do some hands on stuff since vacations are so much looking and not a lot of doing.

After "Aquatots", we went into the "Touch the Bay" exhibit where you get to touch bat rays, leopard sharks and starfish. The bat rays were the neatest! They were so friendly and really seemed to enjoy the attention.

Then we went downstairs to the exhibits "Under the Bay" where you go through glass tunnels and look up at the fish swimming around you. It was cool, but it wasn't cool when the elevator started acting up and took forever to get back upstairs. Colin had to go to the bathroom and we had to wait and wait and wait ... Good thing Colin has a very strong bladder!
