The Carmel Haven : The Aquarium

After Pizza in the Sky we went to the Aquarium. We thought it was just going to be a great aquarium, but there was much more to the place. It was surrounded by a HUGE park with about 10 different things to do. We only did the aquarium and the "climbing park." It overlooked an island and was surrounded by flowers and gardens. We will for sure be back. It took us about an hour and a half to get to. Here's all the stuff you can do/see:

Pretty island nearby. Sometimes I forget that WE are on a very small island ourselves.

There it is!

We haven't been to a zoo/aquarium in over 6 months, so this was the first time Noah actually cared. Him and Avery couldn't get enough of it. As much as I love a sweet little baby, it's nice that now we can do so many things with them both enjoying themselves (and no stroller!) Here's bunch of pictures of what we saw inside:

This fish looked fake until we saw it's eyes move.

This big lobster has become my worst nightmare. I would not want to come across that in the ocean!

"Pink fish!" ~Avery

Nemo fish

I only had my 50mm lense with me so I could not capture how WIDE this tank was. It was enormous. So cool.

This whale shark is MUCH bigger than what it appears

Trying to get a picture of the two of them. Not easy!

What Steve wants to do next. Climb that castle type thing that's on these grounds.

A digger!! Noah still calls everything like that a truck.

Heading to the "blue climbing park."

Again, I only had my 50mm lense with me, so I couldn't capture how BIG this thing was. Steve thought there was at least 30 miles of climbing here. I think I'd love to be a kid in Japan. These parks are just crazy!
