Gone fishin'...

The Zoo Crew up close and personal with the starfish... Fan-C & the Tank were fearless...
The Tank and Otter
Fan-C visiting with her Otter pal...
The Zoo Crew in the Passages of the Deep... note that the Tank pulled his hat on... he was convinced that he was going to get wet since this is a giant glass tube that you walk through. They really LOVED the section that had all the sharks in it.

WE took the zoo crew to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, OR. We had never been there before. It is NOW the Tank's "most favoritest place - EVER". He was so excited that they LET him touch starfish, sea anenomes, sea cucumbers... and more spiky slimy scary stuff. Okay so it is only slimy and scary for mommaduck, the Tank had ZERO FEAR. I kept having to pull him out of their touch tank. Give him hip-wadders and he would have been gone. Fan-C loved the huge tanks of jellyfish. They look like they are ballet dancers, slow & graceful... beautiful to watch. (also Mommaduck's fav) Tiny-T loved the Japanese Spider Crabs. HUGE! They live in the bottom of the ocean, down deep where it is all but black. They have eight long legs like a spider and then on their two front legs they have these tiny pinchers. They are giant creatures but tiny little pinchers. They must eat small fish or whatever goes down that deep. She walked right up to the tank and kept saying... "Hi doggie..." Oh, Tiny-T they are not doggies but you could be their lunch. Their bodies were bigger than the kids heads.
