One day while on our trip, we decided to try something we'd never done before and go whale watching. It was a 2 hour boat ride that took us out onto the ocean to look for migrating whales. We lucked out on out trip seeing 3 different kinds of whales...a Minke whale, Gray whale, and a Fin Back Whale. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time...except maybe for Rachel who wasn't sure about the rocking motion of the boat.
Rachel was a little anxious about the whole boat experience, but it actually made the trip so much easier because all she wanted to do was be held. Otherwise...I'm sure she would have been wanting to be all over the boat! Zac and I took turns holding her and were actually able to enjoy the trip!
My mom and Ally hanging out on the boat!
Ben at the very front making sure he could see everything.
Lucas watched from the front the whole time as well.

After whale watching, we drove to one of our favorite places to eat in Oceanside...Ruby's on the pier. It's a restaurant at the very end of the pier so you have to walk a ways to get there. We met up with all my other siblings and kids as not everyone was able to go whale watching. This picture is Cami, Ben, and Max. It was quite an exciting dinner with 10 kids and 11 adults!

A huge pelican just hanging out where people like to catch fish off the pier. I'm sure he's hoping to catch some too!
Lucas and Cami posing with the pelicans. We later found out that one of the pelicans has sort of a mean streak, so luckily he didn't try anything with these two!
We all had a great day on the ocean and at the pier. The kids even saw dolphins swimming along the pier, so that made their day of animal watching quite eventful!
