I have always loved penguins, so for our anniversary, Adam and I went to the aquarium to see the penguins and do a behind-the-scenes penguin encounter, and it was awesome! The penguins were pretty funny. They have a room off the penguin area that they'll open up during the Penguin Encounters, and the penguins can wander in and out as much as they want.
This is when they first opened the door...first penguin in!
Penguins tend to follow each other a lot, so more trickled in...
For some reason, the penguins really like to stare at the wall...
Those are Adam's knees; some of the penguins really liked to come stand by him.
It's mating season, so we saw several times when the couples would circle each other,
and then bow to each other.
There's Adam getting all the penguin friends again..
This particular penguin, Sampson (you can tell it's him by the band on his arms--he's got the blue and brown combo on his beads) kept coming back to stand by Adam; it was SO funny. I don't know why Sampson singled him out, but he came over many, many times.
More bowing and communicating between mates.
He was getting ready to call....
So close, but he decided not to do it.
Ah, even cuter than the penguins ;)
This funny little girl (Meg, I think), likes to hang out under the sink!
There's Sampson, pecking at Adam's shoelaces!
Notice the kinda scruffy looking feathers on this penguin's fins; that means he didn't shed properly last year :(
Sampson just chilling with Adam...
These are the penguins back in their area; we're watching from outside rather than in the back room.
Just dove in.
This one couldn't decide if he wanted to go in or not; he kept wandering back and forth, back and forth.
