Feeding Fish (and mammals)!!

Finally, I'm back!! Too much has been going on, but I am hoping for a little more free time in the next few weeks!!

Last weekend we went to the Tianjin Natural Museum (it was the same one that I visited not too long ago with Eens). Danny and Cooper had not visited it yet, and it was a gorgeous day for a walk. Once again, we did have a very good time and it was super clean, even though it was a weekend!

The most interesting thing we saw and participated in was feeding fishies with a baby bottle. We paid less than $1 and received our bottle with water and fish food in it (I'm really not sure, but am hoping and assuming that is what it was!). It was actually quite gross to put your hand close to these huge sucking carps, but it was a bit interesting at the same time. I guess you could say it was a China experience!! It will probably be one of those things the kids remember when they are 20..."remember that time when you took us to the museum in China and made us feed fish with a bottle?"

The kids also enjoyed feeding the seals with chopsticks. Eens was much braver this time and actually let them jump up to feed off of the sticks. Ellie was a pro (she eats with chopsticks a lot) and she kept wanting to do it over and over again. Coop was very curious, but a bit scared. He did let Danny hold him up one time, but the seals were a bit over zealous and jumped very high to get the food. I think they were a little too close for comfort!

As you can tell from Coop's smile, it was a good day at the museum!!
