Our second adventure during our staycation was to the Long Beach Aquarium. This year we studied aquatic creatures in science, so I was really excited about going to the aquarium and reviewing what we learned. The admission is expensive, but my friend and awesome deal-finder, Esther, found some coupons that saved us $30 off the admission price! She came along with her two boys. Another friend also came along with her three boys. The kids all had a great time looking at different water life and playing on the playground outside. (Truthfully, I think they were more interested in playing than in the fish!) As for reviewing what we learned, well, I was a little disappointed in how that went. On the drive home, though, David said he was really impressed with how much the girls were able to tell him about the fish, so I guess the review did happen, just not in the way I imagined:) SUCCESS!
