Oregon Coast Aquarium

Going to the coast has become an annual trip. This is our third year. Last year we went in the summer and took our niece Payton also. Cooper was only 1 year old then and did not really have any interest. So this year, one of the main reasons to for going to the coast; besides the opportunity to play in the water and sand, was to go to the Aquarium. Cooper loves all types of animals and since he is almost 2 yrs. we thought he would really enjoy it.

Every thing that swims is a "shark" so we couldn't wait to see his reaction. He didn't let us down. He was so excited to see the "sharks". We had a blast watching him and his reactions. The weather was terrible... it rained the whole time and some times really hard so we didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked. We even brought a lunch to eat that the picnic area that was also spoiled. We plan to go back this summer when the weather is better. We can't wait!
