Hailey... and the Seattle Aquarium

Today I did a little 1:1 outing with Hailey. We went to the Seattle Aquarium, and had a great time! Hailey is our little animal lover, so she is fascinated by seeing any kind of animal. She had a delightful time watching the sea otters, who are very cute and interactive. We also saw big seals, all kinds of colorful fish, and the highlight of the show, the Giant Octopus! (We called it the "Octo")

Here she is watching the Giant Octo...


This is a fake plastic octopus tentacle (um, gross), but Hails played with it curiously for a long time.


This aquarium has a giant pool where you can stick your hand in to touch certain sea life. We touched the big purple starfish, and then Hailey said "all done."


Smiling at delight over the adorable sea otters!

For those of you who don't live in Seattle... this is what it looks like when salmon are returning to their spawning grounds (tons of fish, all on top of each other, swimming upstream.) This is part of the 'salmon ladder' that is at this aquarium.
