Shark Sundays

Sundays at the aquarium at Santa Monica Pier involve presentations and feeding observation of the small sharks and stingrays swimming in the main tank.

The aquarium itself was a nice little spot tucked under the carousel at the pier. We played with the toys, read books, and got to see all kinds of small sea creatures, including a "petting zoo" with such animals as silky soft sea hares and hard, spiny starfish.

Todd's reaction when he touched the starfish?

"It's rough-- just like Daddy and Opa!"
