My son (8) is a shark freak! Of course whatever your kids are into, you are into too. That shark attack they showed on this years Shark Week was nasty! I'm also a Scuba diver and there is nothing more exciting than seeing a shark. It's happened a couple times and was really amazing. Once, in Florida, I came face to face with a 5-6 ft white tip (he came around to check me out) I was so freaked but more concerned with getting a picture. I fumbled with my camera so long, I just got his tail swimming away. At leat I got something.

If you haven't been to the new shark area at the Long Beach Aquarium you must go. On the weekends they sell beer out there so I can just sit in the sun while my son pets sharks and rays. He can do that for hours! It's the reason we became members.
