whale watching!

We didn't know if the girls would like going on a boat out in the sea.

The whale watching tour goes 8-12 miles out I think and I really

didn't want them to freak out when we were all the way out there. 

Matt and I loved it so much last time we did it we decided to chance it.

I brought playdoh and suckers as a distraction just in case! lol

Well the girls loved it! 

Walking to the boat

watching "clyde" the harbor seal that always follows the boats out of the harbor follow us out.

The seals warming up in the sun in the middle of the harbor

huge pod of common dolphins. Its so hard to photograph them, they move so fast!

They were given a dolphin coloring books! they came in handy for the down time in between sightings

watching the dolphins playing right on the side of the boat. I was so glad they didn't try and stand up and look over.

We saw a GREAT WHITE SHARK eating a harbor seal! It was an adolescent shark so it was only 10 feet or so, but still so cool to see. It kept circling the floating seal remnants and taking bites.

She loved it!
