Friday Field Trip!

Our field trip today took us to the bluffs of Carpenteria (about 15-20 minutes north of Ventura), to a special seal rookery to observe seals along the beach!  While it may be hard to see in the picture, all those brownish dots along the coastline are seals!  The kids enjoyed seeing so many of them, as well as viewing some going into and out of the ocean!
 
The kids took turns with binoculars to view the seals more closely, but also to try and spot dolphins and whales swimming further out in the ocean!  Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins or whales!  We were told that we missed both animals by about 20 minutes!
 
As we made our way to the rookery, we ventured down towards the water!  Olivia and I did not make it all the way down!
 
For much of the walk to view the seals, I brought up the rear of the group!  Olivia and her birthday twin Kaylin had fun walking and talking together!
 
My favorite picture of the day! 
 
And this was from last night!  The three crazies pausing for a bit to watch Netflix together! 
 
Apparently this is Olivia's new way of smiling!  The past few days whenever I ask her to smile, this is the face she gives me!  This one keeps us on our toes!!
