| Happy to be at the elephant seal beach |
No trip to California is complete in the winter or spring without seeing the elephant seals near San Simeon. This time around, the males were gone, and just mommas and babies were left on the beach. The babies were getting bigger, and some of the younger males were practice fighting, but it was not nearly as dramatic as during mating season when the big daddy males are fighting over the females.

Grandma came with us on this excursion, I definitely needed the help managing the boys! Thanks, Grandma, for coming with and driving us!

There were friends of the elephant seals volunteer docents there as a school group was coming later in the day, so they had an elephant seal skull and some fun visuals to show what elephant seals eat. Landon enjoyed their demonstration, and was so fascinated with the elephant seal skull that he revisited their booth several times. Most of the seals were just laying there flicking sand on their backs, so he bored quickly of the lounging ones, but was interested in the ones entering or exiting the water because they have such an interesting way of moving over ground. I'm sure as he gets older, he will get more and more out of our nature excursions, it is so fun to share these times with him, doing things that I did all growing up. California's Central Coast was a magical place to grow up, and so fun to visit with kids!
