It’s pretty cool to be able to say, “I touched a shark”
Driving and driving and driving, Photography Add commentsLast week when my parents were here we went to the Long Beach Aquarium. We were originally thinking about going to the San Diego Zoo, but the Aquarium is closer and cheaper. Me and Elijah had been there before, and Cat had a prom there, but no one else had been.
Daniel was really excited to be able to pet sharks and sting rays, so we went to the Shark Lagoon first.
This is a tiger sharK, I think:
Or maybe it’s a nurse shark. I forget.
Cat next to a giant sting ray:
They do *not* look friendly:
I was using my mom’s camera and most of the shots came out too blurry (it was pretty dark in there) to post. But here’s one of the jellyfish:
And one of my parents:
It was really fun, if crowded. We saw the 3D movie about creatures of the deep sea, which are the craziest looking things you’ll ever see. I’m still not completely convinced they aren’t totally made up.

Also, there’s another Name These Tunes posted today at Kulturblog. This one was inspired by Janelle.

The jelly fish picture is cool.

That tiger shark (or whatever) is adorable. Doesn’t he look like he wouldn’t hurt anyone?

Yeah, he does look really friendly. It’s the small mouth. The other sharks were scary looking.

I guess the aquarium has “photograher’s night.” Not sure exactly what that means, but I assume you’re allowed to bring a tripod. Must be cool!
