Boston Aquarium

December 27th

Today's adventure took us all to the New England Aquarium.

The aquarium was packed, but we could force our way in with the little ones to see the critters.

This octopus was pretty active and fun to watch.

Suction all the glass!

Dan got some good video of it changing colors/textures.

Dan thinks he's funny.

A moray eel hanging out in the coral.

Moon jellies!

Oh my goodness!  TINY cuttlefish.  They're only a month old. 

These ones are two months old.

These are called Blue Blubbers.  It sounds like an enemy from a Mario game.

This cuttlefish is hanging out with his starfish buddy.

Another one wanted to join the party.
Fun fact, a cuttlefish's eyes fully develop before they hatch.  
They can observe their environment from inside their eggs.

All hail hypno cuttlefish!

Penguins!  These are rock hoppers.

Sea dragons are weird.

They're mom's favorite animal.

I think they're half plant.

Penguins, as seen through a whale skeleton.

Sea turtle!

This guy has an urchin protecting him.

A giant, and a wee, pufferfish!

ALL the pufferfish, and a sea turtle.

Blurry sea turtle butt, in case you were wondering what their tails look like.

The top of the central tank.

Bye, sea turtle!

In the evening, Byron, Colin, Dan, and I went to Boda Borg.  It's sort of like an escape game but....not.  It was a lot of fun though.  We managed to clear five challenges.  

This concludes our adventures for today.
