Olivia and Katherine won tickets to the Monterey Bay Aquarium at the Alameda County Fair this summer, so we made a family outing out of it.
First, we stopped at Colton Hall, where California's Constitution was signed in 1849.
Then we stopped for lunch and Noah found this bulldozer to drive in front of the restaurant.
The Aquarium at last!
The next two photos are of the same two jellyfish. The first one is with their tank lighting turned off, while the second has the light turned on. Pretty neat!

Noah doesn't quite measure up to a baby blue whale.
Trying to catch krill.
He's a whale!
Leafy Sea Dragons are the coolest.

Noah hanging out with a sea horse.
The source of great drama. Noah was looking at the fire extinguisher (his favorite pastime) and Victor had the audacity to close the door in an attempt to move Noah along. Noah's response? "Daddy, you really dissappointed me by closing that door."
Kaleidoscope Noah.
The life sized orcas were a hit.
Noah trapped himself in this net and then announced that he was Bi-Catch.

Crashing waves!
