a few weeks back, we ventured down to seward to visit the sea life center. we brought jb down there when he was about a year and half but hadn't been back since. it was a beautiful day in seward, too. we even brought rain gear but needed none of it. such a great day to watch the kids explore, run around like wild turkeys and tell us all about it.
jack's currently not a huge fan of his picture being snapped, so in the following photos, you'll see a whole lot of his backside. still a pretty cute backside, if you ask me...
we saw big ass stellar sea lions, a plethora of bumpy starfish, one orangey octopus, transparent jellyfish, quick-swimming harbor seals, all the puffins you could ask for and fish fish fish! jackie worked up some courage and touched the many starfish. he even had his finger stuck to one of the oogy, wiggly things that i wouldn't dare go near. i can never keep up with the kid. one minute he's coming unglued because my sticky hands all sticky! and the next minute, he's touching boogers of the sea.
the girl wasn't up for touching (i know, i was shocked, too!) but she was up for escaping. like, she wanted to go wherever we weren't. this two year old is turning into quite the pill... miss independent is more like it.
can you tell she has a personality? just a little bit? she's comical and smart. she's mischievous and sweet. she loves to cuddle, but can turn on you with a mooove! i can't help but smile when i think of her.
the girl has 1,000 faces. all of which completely bowl me over in love. it truly is amazing how your heart can love in so many ways. i couldn't have imagined that i had enough space in my heart to love another tiny human as much as i love jb. then, dylan presented herself, and i'm all in love n stuff - again.
after a few hours of running amok at the sealife center's disposal, we loaded up the extra sleepy boos and drove up and down the streets of seward. (it took about 7 minutes.) oh, how i love harbor towns. the buoy tree just cracks me up. although, this could have been anywhere in ak...
the waterfalls along the highway were still frozen, but the graffiti was out and about. during our drive south, i told ben i spotted a strawberry and he looked at me like i had six heads. so on the way home, i rubber-necked around every turn, trying to find that stupid strawberry that i knew i saw. sure enough, once i spotted it, mister mister gave me that i-hate-being-wrong look.
day trips are so fun. especially with snoozing babies all the way home.
