Today we set off for one of our favourite spots.
After a while one of our little guys thought he saw a dog swimming in the water, I wasn't watching too closely, I was supervising what was going into the mouth of the baby.
Very soon I heard delighted squeals "It's a seal! IT'S A SEAL!" Almost right! It was a sea lion. (we looked it up again when we got home to be sure).
A little cutie.
The seal enjoyed the company of the children for quite a long time, then he/she headed off with the tide around the corner. What a treat!
Many years back, at this same spot when our older boys were young we saw Orca! It's a fantastic spot.
We had a nice play, then a snack then the baby needed to sleep, so we headed off. To everyone's surprise he did actually fall asleep, after a fair amount of noise.
We found a nice spot to explore on the way home - somewhere we'd never stopped before. I stayed in the van with the baby and did a little artwork. I'm working on a piece for a friend. It's helping me calm down when things get too stressful.
I'm using a black Sakura Micron Pigma 03 pen for the outline, and Sakura Metallic Gelly Roll pens for the colour - I love those pens!
Baby woke, and cried all the way home - then remembered one reason we've been more or less housebound for the last 8 months! Some babies travel well, others don't. It's just a short season hopefully.
