We had a fun Father's Day weekend with just about everybody here in the LA area except for Evan who is on his mission. On Saturday morning, we took the boat trip for the Sanitation Districts out of San Pedro. Katie, the Warnick's neighbor, came along to help with the four little kids.
Above is part of the group on the front of the Ocean Sentinel, the research ship used to monitor water being released from the outfall off Palos Verdes peninsula.
Ellie was fascinated with the sea lions sunbathing on the buoy as we were leaving the harbor.
Coco had no problems with sea sickness while Gavin was a little bit more tentative, especially when we were trawling for fish.
The marine biologists on board pulled kelp up from the ocean and explained what the sea creatures were that lived in the kelp forest.
One of the big starfish that was pulled up was pink.
Ethan was thrilled to see the big sea star.
Coco didn't want to have anything to do with the big sheep crab that the biologist showed to her.
Annie and Ian held a small sea star and the sheep crab.
James is explaining to the little kids that the one of the eyes migrate to one side or the other of the flat fish like a sole.
Ellie showed Gavin one of the fish from the tank.
The kids all enjoyed listening to the marine biologist and touching the different fish that had come up in the net and then were put in the tank.
Ethan and Coco liked to look over the side of the boat when we were underway.
We caught two octopuses and Katie held one of them before they let it go in shallow water.
The Friday night before the boat trip, we all had dinner with friends that wanted to see Ian and Annie.
Finally, this weekend, we not only celebrated Father's Day, but we celebrated anniversaries at a wonderful Italian restaurant near Universal City called Miceli's. Ian and Annie celebrated their first anniversary, and James and Ster, Megan and Danny just celebrated their 8th anniversaries. Gavin and Ellie came also and loved watching the waiters perform their songs.
