Upon arrival, everyone piled into the rental car to got to Del Mar beach for a walk. Surprise, surprise, the kids managed to increasingly get wetter, wetter, and wetter.
An amusing incident happened at Birch aquarium. We were at the outdoor pools, where water creatures can be touched. Benjamin asked a docent, "that’s a bat stingray, isn’t it"? The docent said, "No, it’s not". Benjamin looked quizzical then skipped over to his dad. Wendy overhead another docent tells the first docent, "You were wrong, that IS a bat stingray".
Lots of fun to the point of tiring out kids and adults. This is a really good pic since later I put Christopher on my surfboard in < waist-deep water. Christopher rode on his belly quite well until the wave pushed the board to the side and he went under the board. Gordon was there to pluck him from the water but the damage was done. He just got wet but it was unexpected and got scared. I still have nightmares about this.
