So I took the kids whale watching. The gray whales migrate from Baja, California to near Alaska and they come in pretty close to the Oregon Coast. "Pretty close" is a relative term...even through the scope they were pretty small. But it was exciting none the less. There were 4 juveniles playing around out there and they were jumping and splashing and spraying. Again hard to tell a jump from a tail splash from where we were. The kids were excited about all the commotion, but to tell the truth they were a little disappointed at how small it all was even through the scope! They were good sports and we had a wonderful day in great weather at the coast.

| Anne taking it all in. It took a bit, but they soon got the hang of how to look through binoculars. |

| Katie and Megan, soon bored with the whale watching, went on a little explore. |

| Ryan: "Forget whale watching, how about raven catching!" |
Ryan tried relentlessly to catch one of those big black birds. . .maybe next time!
