Touch Tank

We saw a sign while driving around on the island for a touch tank and figured we should try it out. Grandma and Poppa drove us over there one morning so that Drew could enjoying seeing some marine life and touching the sea animals.

We hadn't even made it into the building and Poppa had already picked up a crab for Drew to see!

The touch tank was pretty neat for Drew as they had starfish, crabs, snails, fish and more! Drew got to touch a lot and he loved banging on the 400 pound turtle shell they had on display.

Watching his little tentative self before touching each item was just precious. He would often look up to Derek or me as a confirmation that it was ok to actually touch the item. I love seeing his trust in family. 

But the kid is a boy after his mom's heart and really enjoyed watching the seahorses flutter around most of all!

And then he crashed. And I snuck a picture of my sweet, sleeping boy in the cottage's pack n play with his new manatee stuffed animal.
