Starfish Awe at Sea World

Amongst all of Sea World's dolphins, Orca whales, and seals doing tricks, Ethan fell love with one little animal under the sea. Starfish.

They have this hands on exhibit where you can pick up and explore starfish and sea anemone.

He thought it was kind of cool until he met the staff marine biologist. He called her Miss Rebecca, the starfish teacher. He talks about Miss Rebecca weeks later.

What made Miss Rebecca so memorable? She spent 45 minutes one on one with him explaining every detail of the species and most fun of all... the food chain! Apparently larger starfish eat smaller starfish species, who knew?

Now he talks about predators and prey matter of factly (and alllll the time) and when you ask him where he belongs, he answers on the TOP of the food chain!

Thanks for bringing us to Sea World Grandpa!

Picture of Romance... with two young kids

6:18pm sunset view off our balcony in San Diego.

Talk about a third wheel...

And off camera... hearing three year old whining through the monitor about not being sleepy.

Hey, we tried!

California Dreamin': Surf's Up!

Gavin's toes have felt the sand and surf for the first time!

Here are some favorite shots from the first day of our family vacation to visit my Dad in San Diego.

I think more sand got in his plumber's crack than the buckets!

Then big bro had some big boy fun in the water while Gavin laid out.

And when I say laid out, I mean took his morning nap in his sunscreen bodysuit.

Perfect first day for a pretty phenomenal trip. Stay tuned for more!
