While at the aquarium to which we took Liam we found an exhibit that allows the children to pet the sea rays. I was surprised to see how much the animals actually seemed to enjoy being touched by people. They would come right up to people's hands and rub against them like cats. Liam was totally enamored and asked over and over if we could take one home. Alas, we have one of those suburban homes that doesn't come equipped with a sea ray water holding tank. Darn the luck!
