Animal Sightings
An animal sighting is always fun with the kids. On our recent trip to the Ocean Institute, The Boy had to walk by the touch-and-feel tank three times before finally deciding he could reach in and touch the starfish and sea cucumbers. I was a little apprehensive over how the slimy feeling would go over, but he liked it, though not as much as he liked Boris the BIG lobster:
Boris the 25lb (or so) lobster at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point.
On a different trip to Irvine Regional Park to play, the kids were extremely excited to see a peacock wandering about:
It turned in my direction, likely due to the sound of the agitated voice of The Boy: “Mom! Mom! Take a picture!”

The peacock is beautiful. What a great photo! I am glad I found your blog on MomDot.
Cool ww post. I’ve never seen a lobster in the water other than a tank.
25 lbs. that would feed a family of four….
I absolutely love peacocks, that’s for the photo.
Funny how both of those animals are such interesting colors. I used to love trips like that when I was a kid. Looks like a lot of fun!
I wonder if they transfer to Red Lobster eventually because I think I ate his uncle last week
