Ditch Day!

On Thursday, I decided to join my friends, Lisa and Jayci, along with their kiddos, at the South Coast Botanical Garden in Palos Verdes. We got there a little early, so we explored the Children's Garden. here's Shayna on the bridge... She looks so much older than 4...




















Here she is with her buddies, Luke and Mason, studying every sluggish move that turtle made. I don't even think it moved at all...
















After the gardens, we headed over to the San Pedro Marine Mammal Care Center to visit the sea lions and elephant seals. Shayna and Camille befriended a huge sea lion by pretending to be sea lions themselves. Who knows what they were "barking" to the sea lion.











We ended our awesome day at Ports O' Call Village with some fish n' chips and of course... ice cream! It was a great day of fun with our friends and also a wonderful "educational" ditch day (shhhh, don't tell Shayna)!
