ano nuevo elephant seals

We couldn't of picked a better day to head to the coast, beautiful and clear and so appreciated after all the rain we have been having.  Both Scott and I have been so excited to take Kekoa out to Ano Nuevo to see the elephant seals.  If you have never been, I highly recommend it.

The day didn't start out so wonderful, both Kekoa and Scott needed little time outs! :)  But after the bumpy morning, everything was fine.  It is quite a walk out to see the seals.  Malia was in the carrier and Kekoa walked some and rode a lot on Scott's shoulders.  Malia was awesome, she slept for almost the whole tour ( I was so worried she would wake up and want to nurse).
Kekoa did awesome too.  Once we got past the morning grumpiness, he was a trooper, no complaining from him.  He had a lot of fun, looking for sticks and we even saw a banana slug on the way out to the seals.

The elephant seal breeding season isn't crazy yet, but we were able to see a couple of males fight, a pup nursing, and plenty of elephant seals.  I was just so happy it wasn't rainy or too cold.  A great way to end our year together.

Notice how Scott is carrying Kekoa?  The hike didn't start off so great, but definitely got better. :)




Right before she fell asleep.







Kekoa was SO tired.
