Touch Tank

Here is Aaron trying to sample the seafood from the touch tank!

Here are some pretty starfish that I held in the touch tank. The water was freezing cold because it is pumped straight from the ocean so our hands got very cold. It was a really neat experience to hold these creatures. I took a group of third graders to the touch tank yesterday. We had to walk over a mile to get there because it is on Near Island. I walked with a chubby boy who was very slow and had a hard time getting there. We eventually made it though! On our way back across the bridge, we saw four sea lions eating fish that had fallen from a fishing boat.
