Ah, Spring Break is over. For much of the week, the March Family remained in hiding. On Friday we decided we had better do something before our time was up, so we took a day trip to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It had been a while since I'd been there (about the time "Free Willy" was on display). The boys loved it. They especially got a hoot out of the giant tank tunnels you walked through.
I apologize for the poor quality photos. You see, I forgot the camera, and we were stuck with the over-priced disposable purchased from the gift shop. I am pretty ticked too, because I know the old Sony could have produced some quality.
Anyway, my favorite part of the place is still the touch pool. They have plenty of benign sea creatures that don't mind thousands of grubbies invading the habitat for eight hours daily. Hayden would have jumped right in if he could have, while Chase wouldn't touch anything but the rocks. Chase's favorite by far was the shark tank. He is still going on about it, and the STINGRAYS! He found "Sharkie" in the gift shop. Shawn can tell you, Nakas, he found it on his own. I didn't influence him in anyway - except for the name! "Sharkie" has been up to all sorts of shenanigans at home - mostly biting people's noses and attacking unsuspecting little brothers. He also enjoys eating crayons, but I digress.
And now it's back to the grind. Ten more weeks, and I'll be graduated! Shawn will have the summer off, and perhaps we'll return to the aquarium and visit the sharks... next time I will remember our camera!
