While Jason and Jared headed out into the ocean to catch Silver Salmon, Heidi and the kids and I checked out the Sea Life Center.
Ellie and Willem checking out the touch tank. In the past, Willem would have just watched others try it out, but he dove right in. He's getting more and more comfortable trying new things on his own. Ellie loved splashing around in the water. Luckily the sealife were extremely tranquil or sedated, not really sure...
The magnifying glass was a hit. We looed at sea shells and small crabs, but mostly our hands.
The aquarium had a beautiful deck with views of Resurrection Bay.
Ellie's turn
We picked up the guys from the docks and brought them down to a trail that runs along the water. No pictures from the boat yet, will post later as they are on Jason's phone. The good news is that 3 salmon were caught, neither Jason or Jared got seasick and there was no rain.
The start of the trail is the original start to the Iditarod race. The trail is paved and is 2 miles long, running right along the bay. About .2 miles into the trail, we saw an oasis in what could have been quite an uneventful walk for the kids, aka beautiful views for the adults:
The playground was amazing, Willem tried out the monkey bars and Ellie crawled thru all the tunnels and made piles of wood chips.
That night Jason prepared a wonderful meal with the freshest salmon we've ever eaten. He breaded the salmon and cooked it on the stove. Was amazing, wish I had pictures of the finished product!
