Long Beach

Be prepared....you are going to see a lot of Corben and Mason from the BACK!  

This is a post from BEHIND them!!  hehe

We went to Long Beach to visit Mickey and Jo-Ann Marques

Our first stop was The Aquarium of the Pacific

The kids loved the big whale with the baby on the right

Corben shouted...hammer head shark!

He knew exactly what it was!

Hugh Manna Ray

Three scuba divers were in the water talking about all the sea creatures.

Mason went up to the glass and all she wanted to see was the scuba guy.  She touched his hand on the glass in an "ET phone home" sort of way.  Scuba guy was all she focused on, she waved, blew kisses, etc.

Penguins!

They swim so fast in the water

Cool backdrop to march with the penguins!

Of course next to the baby penguins too!

We all did really good on our times and improved.

Cousin Kimberly watched the kids while we ran.

Then we spent the day at the beach
