Sea Scare


Last night we went to Sea Scare at the aquarium with our friends Becky, Jon, and Kyan! We took Lily last year when she was only 2 months old, and we knew then that she was going to enjoy it so much more this year! She really loved getting dressed up in her skunk costume, and running around the aquarium showing off! Kyan dressed as the cutest elephant I've ever seen. He's relatively new to walking ( 3 weeks to a month I believe?) so his walk resembles an elephants right now, so his costume was so fitting! It was adorable! All we heard all night was "Oh...look at the baby skunk! Look at the elephant...Oh they are so cute!" The kids loved the attention.
Lily also really enjoyed trick or treating for the first time. They had employees throughout the aquarium giving out candy. Lily really enjoyed opening her goody bag for them. She loved holding onto the bag all night period! She wouldn't put the thing down!

Lily's very first time trick or treating (sorry the picture is crappy):

Walking around, bag in hand of course:

We all enjoyed how the aquarium was decorated, and all the fun things they had going on. The who park is light up with pumpkins, and most fish displays had some sort of decoration.

This was our favorite pumpkin:

Underwater pumpkins:

Pirates!

One of the fun things they do is underwater pumpkin carving in the main tank. It's so interesting to watch. Did you know fish like to eat pumpkin? As the chunks are carved away, the fish will eat them!


Here are a couple pictures of us with Lily, enjoying our night. Of course you can see...treat bag in her hands in both!



At the end of the night, the kids got tired. Who wouldn't after running around for almost 3 hours!
Time to go home:

I know this is an event we will continue to love throughout the years!
