Portland Aquarium

Another fun adventure we had in Portland was going to the Portland Aquarium.  

 There were so many exhibits that let you touch the animals.  Here is a picture of Daddy petting a shark...

 Daddy and Pierce went into a bird area when there were birds EVERYWHERE.

 I stayed on the other side of the netting, so the pictures are not great.  While the boys were in there a bird landed on Daddy's head.  Pierce was not amused. 

 He was especially not amused when another bird landed on HIS head.

 Pierce liked the animals in the cages better. 

 At the beginning neither of the boys would touch anything.  Towards the end, they started to explore some of the tide pools.

 There was some type of ray that was circling the tide pool. 

 Beckett really wanted to touch it,

 but then would get nervous. 

 I think he finally touched it at the end.
