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:

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!”

Okay.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, here are pix from Tanaka Farms in Irvine:

That first basket is one of the most interesting gourds I have ever seen. They’re called Autumn Wings, and they are bumpy and swan-shaped and all sorts of entertainment for kids. Tanaka Farms sells them 3 for $4. I wish I’d bought more of them.

Cheers to your health!
