Legoland Sea Life Aquarium

David, Elizabeth, Sara (and the Melody belly), Hannah & Joel in front of Sea Life Aquarium.

For David's 11th birthday family activity, he chose the new aquarium next to Legoland. The still had the homeschool days discount through the end of the month and with a couple free tickets from David's lego magazines, it was within our budget, too. :)

It was a really nice day and just about my speed. I think it only took the kids about an hour to go through the whole thing the first time. It is a fun little aquarium, but it is not huge. We then returned to the van, retrieved our picnic lunch and ate on the grass in front of Legoland.

After lunch we returned to the aquarium and went through everything at least once more. David wanted to see the 15 minute video we blasted by earlier and we got in on the seahorse feeding.

It was nice to have a family day where we were not just trying to "take care of business." It seems like our lives revolve around a to do list too much these days. We did stop in Murrieta on the way home as Kevin has a condo closing escrow there tomorrow!

Here are a few more pictures from the Aquarium.

Joel carried his map everywhere. He loves to follow maps.

David and Elizabeth and a REALLY large lobster.
