Sea Life Adventures

Aunt Amy had passes for us to visit the Sea Life Park in Avila, CA 

The kids loved looking at all the animals

Daddy, Mason and the jellyfish

Corben loves jokes and making people laugh...a favorite joke in our house is....

"What fish loves peanut butter?...... jellyfish!" 

The kids were able to touch some of the sea life

Mason touching a Star fish or Sea Star as the lady said 

Love all the colors of the Star fish! 

There was a little park near by and right on the beach, so we stopped and the kids played for a little while. 

Attempt at family picture using the timer 

Then we went to Avila Pier 

There were many pelicans...this one about to enjoy a big fish 

There were also stairs leading down to a large area of seals and sea lions 

They were huge and we were right by them! 

The sign going down the stairs warned that they bite, so we kept our distance and took a quick look 

We saw a couple of seals just swimming right near the pier 

the kids sat beyond the stairs and looked down at the seals, notice the one swimming in the background

We watched them for a long time! 

Then we drove to Shell beach where Amy and the girls lived this past year

Gorgeous coastal view, many rocks and arches 

In front of Amy's house is a big park, Corben and Mason never say no to playing at the park

Corben sitting with Madison (Payton's friend who was with us all week...Corben is a little bit girl crazy already, yikes....he wanted to play with Madison all the time!)

Splash fun

It was kind of cold all week, so Mason was really the only daring one to get wet!
