We were supposed to have friends over to discuss the future of healthcare in America this afternoon, but everyone seemed to have something else to do. Fortunately it was a sunny and warmish day (around 50 degrees for a while) and we needed to renew Jason's membership anyway, so it was the perfect way to spend a day that would have otherwise been a downer.
I took 185 photos but deleted a lot of them. Fish and other aquatic animals are always on the move, so it was very hard to get sharp photos of them. The most cooperative critters were the anemones and sea stars that clung to rocks and didn't travel.
This was Bruce's first time seeing not-so-little Akitusaaq, the baby walrus. He's gotten a lot bigger but is still a baby, and he seems to love playing with a white plastic shovel.
It was even warm enough to go to the outdoor show and see Osborn the sea lion do his tricks. Osborn dances and gives sea lion kisses to the kids in the front row.
We had a great time admiring the animals on a day when only a handful of people came to the Aquarium. There were no crowds and it was easy to see anything we chose. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon, just what we needed.
