Mother's Day in Seward

Every woman knows you have to:
Cleaning up
Clean before you can go anywhere.

Seward Board walk
On the boardwalk, down by the Sea.

While I was checking in with our tour guide, Sean and Autumn ran into:
Autumn and the sleeping Sea Lion
A sleeping Sea Lion. Sean got this picture with his cell phone and said that the sea lion was just a few feet away from them, peacefully sleeping. At one point, while the Sea Lion was coming up for air, he snorted out some water and soaked Autumn. Autumn found this quite amusing!

Captain Autumn
On the back of our boat.

The view
The view.

Makeshift gloves
It was a little chilly and we forgot Autumn's gloves, so we found some makeshift gloves! Autumn didn't mind, she chose warmth!

The ride
The ride.

Binoculars
"Using" the binoculars.

Correct
Finally figured it out!

Talking on the phone
Autumn was talking to someone on her cell phone about all the stuff she was seeing, mainly whales and water.

Dall sheep

Bald Eagle

Hump back whale
We had the distinct pleasure of seeing a humpback whale and baby (this was the only shot I got of the whales).

Sea Lions
Sea lions.

Sleeping Angel
About 2.5 hours in, Autumn was finally worn out from all the excitement of the day. Personally, I'm glad she slept, there was a family near us- all of them puking from sea sickness- YUCK!

Flying high
At the Seward Park. Flying high.

Big girl swing
In the big kid swing.

Back at our hotel, the Holiday Inn Express, we had a sea side room on the third floor. Autumn was looking out our window and started hollering bear. Then she switched over to whale and became very excited, beating on the window. Sean went over to see what she was fussing over, looked out the window and saw this:
Sea Lion
A sea lion eating/killing something, right outside our window. We put our shoes on and headed outside.

Sea Otter
At first all we saw was this otter, but!!!!

Sea Lion
After a few minutes, we got a real up close look at that Gigantic Sea lion!!

Sea Lion
He flung some of his fish out on the boardwalk at us and just barely missed us. I'm ashamed to admit it, but when water and fish guts started coming towards us, it scared me and I screamed like a little girl.

The next day we made our way to the Sea Life Center.
