The boys and I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in late June, mainly because they have Magellanic Penguins there and we are all — thanks to Ezra — obsessed with penguins. Here are the boys looking for them.
They were (as you can see) up on the rocks and there weren’t very many of them out that day. The boys were content for the moment to pose with the fake ones at the display.
Later in the day when we came back to the penguin area, the birds were in the water, much to the delight of two little boys.
Ezra couldn’t get close enough. He would jump in there with them if he could.
We saw lots of other sea animals and spent some time in the Lorikeet Forest. Ezra fed the birds.
Finn wasn’t too happy in there — the birds kept swooping down around us and it freaked him out.
We just found out there are two baby penguins now, so we’ll be making a return trip soon.
