Monterey Bay Aquarium

On Saturday, we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Grandma, Alan, and Gaoder. Cecilia loved seeing all of the fish, getting to touch some new and interesting things, and seeing all of the people there. I definitely think that we will be going back again!


Cecilia got to be held up high by Daddy to see all of the sardines swimming by. What a neat sight!


Later, she got to see some more fish up close. Cecilia seemed to really enjoy putting her hand up to the glass and trying to touch the fish!



Here's a jellyfish. She also liked looking at those. What really strange and beautiful creatures!


Aunt Gaoder, Uncle Alan, Grandma, Mommy, and Cecilia


One of my favorite pictures of the two of us in a while.


Family picture!

Although it looks like Cecilia is diving in to touch things here, Daddy managed to keep a good grip on her while also letting her touch things.




One of Cecilia's favorite things at the Aquarium was getting to touch things in the touch pools! She wasn't always as gentle as she should be, and there were a few times that she took things out of the water that weren't supposed to leave the water, but it all worked out in the end. You can hear and see how excited she is in these videos.





We headed up to the children's play area next and Cecilia had a ball. She got to climb up the stairs to the slide (first video) like a big girl, and then got to slide down all by herself. However, we need to work a little more on how to slide down safely. Cecilia nearly gave us all heart attacks by looking like she was going to fall and/or come down headfirst. Thankfully she got down safely though!


Then we went to the dedicated toddler area and let Cecilia run around. She really liked playing in the water and trying to fit the shapes into the different holes. However, she is still working on why a circle doesn't fit in a square hole and vice versa. :)




More touching seaweed and other things.


One last picture of Cecilia and Daddy. She fell asleep soon after this photo was taken.
