We went to the Portland Aquarium today. We went with my sister, Amy, my friend, Carrie, and her daughter, Maya. The aquarium just opened in mid December so it was pretty fun to check it out. It has three "touch" aquariums, and one of those is full of Rays (that have had their barbs removed so they are safe to touch). It also has a cool Lorikeet cage where your kids can go in and feed the birds if they want to. It will soon have a Puffin display and Sea Otter display that should be pretty cool.

Owen & Lindy checking out the "touch" tank. It was full of Starfish & Sea Anemone. Owen loved that he got to touch the water. Lindy was more cautious about it.

Lindy standing nose to nose with a Ray. She could have stood in this spot all day.
Maya, Carrie, Owen & Amy checking out all of the Rays.
Maya & Carrie admiring the Rays. Maya even got to touch a Ray. She thought it was pretty cool.
Owen at the last "touch" tank.
We hope that Lindy & Owen will want to take Grandma & Grandpa to the aquarium when we visit next! Dad
