exploring

Today I went to look for the Poulsbo Marine Science Center. I met the aquarium director on Monday at the library program I was writing about, PMSC sponsored the touch-tank! When I finally found it I walked in and saw a way cooler, way bigger touch-tank that was filled with a bunch of different kinds of starfish. I couldn't believe that I was allowed to just pick them up, but I wasted no time rolling up my sleeves and sticking my hands in the freezing water! I was probably the oldest person at the touch-tank though, ha ha, there were lots of kids. After my starfish fix I walked around the rest of the building and watched a giant pacific octopus take a nap. He was really pretty too, it was the first time I'd seen an octopus! I liked it so much that I left with a volunteer application, so that I can hopefully play with the starfish on a regular basis. After the animals, I went to the waterfront park that I visited on my first day of work. This time I found a cool boat dock and hung out there for a while. I had fun looking at the water and the mountains at the same time, and the sun made it even better! I've been hanging at the house for a little while now. My aunt Lora called me earlier to say hi and it was fun to talk with her for a while. She told me how much she likes the blog and that she and my uncle read it every night.
