Spring Break '18: Tuesday Morning's Otter Highlight

Char was excited to visit the city's aquarium.


Lumpsucker is going to be the name of my next pop punk band.




This shark attack video makes quite an impression.


See what I mean?


That was a real reaction from Charlotte. She had no idea my phone was trained on her. This is what her fake reaction looks like. You can see the difference. 


It was safe in here.



Daphne enjoyed touching the bat rays on their wings, but Char wasn't too sure about doing that herself.


Honestly, the bat rays seemed playful. They would come to the surface and splash around.


The touch pools are more Char's style. They were her highlight of our vacation to Seattle. 


This trip's highlight was all about Ryer.


When Charlotte rounded the corner to the otter exhibit, her eyes lit up. Ryer the otter was flying around his tank. She ran past the glass, and he followed her. She ran the other direction, and he did likewise. When she ran to another section of the exhibit, he zoomed there, too. When she stopped and put her hand on the glass, he zipped to that spot and swam circles around her hand. This went on for ten minutes. 

Daphne and I watched this unfold with wonder. He was really playing with Charlotte! I didn't get out my phone until the two were beginning to get tired, so my videos don't really show how active the two of them were. But you will get the idea.




After two hours, we were getting hungry. Char said her goodbyes to Ryer, and we moved on. 
Lunch was mussels, mischief, and ice cream for dessert.
