Spring Break and More

On Wednesday, we went to see the elephant seals at Ano Nuevo. We missed the end of the season when the males fight and the females take care of their pups.. Right now there were only about 2000 (sounds like a lot, but it looked like there were about 100) seals on the beach, and they were the few-month-old babies that were lying around after their parents left. They were pretty funny though, sleeping in piles and making weird snorting sounds.





And then we went to see the "pig farm" (Rancho San Antonio Park) on Thursday and they had baby animals! Sheep and pigs. They were cute. And it stopped raining just enough for them to come out of their houses and play for a little while. The lambs were funny because they didn't know what to do with the grass, and they tried to copy the mother and eat the grass also. And one of them started eating the dirt.

And then on Friday we (me, Matt, Will, Edwin, plus entire family) went to Hotaru for a ridiculous dinner. Ate a lot of food.. we had like five of the #1 combo specials at our table! Everyone liked the place a lot, and we got to sit upstairs. Apparently they fixed the upstairs up and put a few tables there, to expand when they're really busy. Except they had this door to an "office" there that was sort of sketchy.. at one point this guy came out of it with what Edwin said was a bucket of white powder. Hmm.

EDIT: OOOHHH! One of my Mexican jumping beans just hatched! The moth came out of the little bean! Neat! I tried to take a picture of it, but it came out all blurry. So I just let the moth go outside. He left behind a lot of funny dust, and a bean with a round hole in it, and the skin/shell of a little worm.
