Monterey Bay Aquarium

After Christmas, but before New Years, we headed down to Monterey to see the fishes.














Fish doing their thing.














Papa Jack performs his usual magic by REACHING INTO THE AQUARIUM!!!!














Maeve and her cousin Sara learn about one of the Ocean's many denizens.














Maeve, Anne, Sara, Jack and Teaghan reach for Bat Rays.














Teaghan and Papa Jack experience the wave tunnel.














Considering this thing didn't really have anything to do with fish, it was very popular with the kids. Kids like waves.














Maeve and Sara walking to and fro.














"I shall call him squishy, and he shall be mine, and he shall be my squishy! "














"So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb."














Teaghan and Daddy take a self portrait.














Los Lynches en Monterey (un poco frio)














Papa Jack tempts the sea, but stops just short of mockery.














Opposite of ugly.














Teaghan, Daddy and Maeve on the beach.














Ok, now Papa Jack is mocking the sea. And it's fighting back.




















Maeve and Sara on the beach.














Daddy and Maeve take a self portrait.




















Just sisters enjoying the view.
