The girls are taking a little break on a park bench. While Steve's family went over to the Canadian side of the falls we walked to the aquarium. It was quite a hike for Hannah and Nikki, but they were such troopers. I can't believe I didn't get any pictures at the aquarium of the sea lions. We got to see them do a show, and it was so good. At one point a sea lion was swimming around the tank with a ball balanced on his nose and Nikki said, "Wow, I can't even do that. I wish I was a sea lion." We also got to see them feed the seals, and there was a freaky-looking one with enlarged white eyes. The trainer told us she was blinded from two gunshot wounds to the head. I thought that was really sad and gross. All of their seals were saved from being wounded or orphaned in the wild. They did a lot of tricks to get their fish, so that was fun to watch. We also saw a magic show that the girls would have really liked except just the day before we had an awesome magic show at our library storytime that was a lot more exciting. All in all, the aquarium was a fun side trip.
