Point Reyes

A couple of months ago we went to Point Reyes with our friends Kristine and Jason. It was a beautiful day! We went on a little hike and had a nice little picnic.

It was such a pretty hike

Such a goof:)

We even got to see Bambi and his mom

Kristine, Jason, Ben, & Brady

It's so crazy that we live here!

I can't get over how cute Ben is! He is the best baby!

Ben got a little tired

The Girls

The Boys

I love that you can drive 30 minutes to a beautiful hike and then be back driving over the Golden Gate bridge.

Happy Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

We are so blessed in our lives to have so many people who we love and love us!

California Academy of Sciences

Brady and I went to the free day at the California Academy of Sciences. It is such an amazing place. They have a new aquarium with over 50,000 gallons of water, a four-story encased rainforest, african penguins, a swap, and so much more!

(LOTS of pictures to follow)

Brady and me at the entrance of the building

The Stingray pool

I love giraffes!

Brady by the fully encased four-story rainforest

Steinhart Aquarium is full of the most interesting creatures!

Jelly fish are BEAUTIFUL

Speckled Sanddabs

They blend in with the sandy seafloor to hind from predators

These little guys are Waxy Monkey Tree Frogs

They grab branches and swing through trees like monkeys

Moray Eels

These eels reminded me of Flotsam and Jetsam in the Little Mermaid

This little fish looks more like a dinosaur to me

I think sea horses are fascinating

There are so many crazy things under the sea!

These funny little things are called Garden Eels

There aren't snakes, they're fish! They live in colonies and pop their bodies out when hungry

Leafy Sea Dragon

This is Claude

He is an albino alligator. He is blind and gets a sunburn when exposed to the sun.

Who Knew?

After the aquarium we went into the Rainforest

The colorful Macaws

There is a whole wall in the rainforest of exotic orchids

Poison Dart Frog

Twig Snake

Gecko & Brady

Cluster Chameleon

They hunt with their spring loaded tongues

The rainforest was filled with butterflies and beautiful flowers

After the Rainforest we walked over to the Natural History and had a visit with

Mr. Gopher Tortoise

And the African Penguins
