Clear back in March, James was given a gift certificate to feed the penguins at the aquarium for his birthday. We finally made the time to do it towards the end of May. Laura got to go with James as he did this because Quinn went with Emma. James had so much fun. First we went to a classroom and got some instruction. Then we got coats and gloves on because it is cold in there - about 40 degrees. We each got 5 fish - there were 10 of us. The penguins came in and downed the fish. None of them were picky today in how you held the fish out to them like they were with Quinn and Emma. After the fish were gone they just let the come and go into the room we were in. We were there about 30 minutes. It was mostly the babies from last year that stayed. They were so cute playing with the balls and pretending they were eggs. They also played with bubbles. We were just able to watch because penguins don't like to be touched by humans or other penguins. They all like their personal space. Thanks Grandma for a great present!
