Monterey Bay Aquarium

While I was in California visiting my family I got to take Alden to the aquarium with my sister, Maren.  Alden has always loved fish, and pretty much every other animal, so it is always fun to see how his reactions change around animals as he gets older. Here are some pictures from our day.

When we first got there we let Alden see the sea otters which he really liked watching swim around.

 Alden did not like being under this waterfall type thing.  He got scared and clung to me.

 Maren got to take these pictures of one of the frogs we saw.

Alden liked this tank with lots of "Dorys."

Alden had a lot of fun in the kids section where there were lots of different things for him to play with.  He loved the little area with the water (shown to the right) where he could play with rubber fish.

 We love penguins!

Alden had fun watching the jelly fish again.

 These birds were a new favorite of Alden's.  I think it was because they were moving so much while we were there.

We had a fun time being back in Monterey again.
