Afternoon At The Zoo: In Which The Sea Lions Are Visited And Swim Around And Around
Dear Adalie, Kylia, Zoie, and Maddie Mae (aka, The Best Nieces Ever!),
On Monday I went to the zoo. I wish I could have taken you with me, but since I couldn't, I decided to take lots of pictures of the animals just for you. Today, I'm going to tell you about my visit with the sea lions.
There were two sea lions at the zoo that day. They were swimming around and around in their large deep pool. Did you know they swim with their eyes closed? When they get near the giant window, they rub their bellies against the glass so they know when to turn. Even though they flop around awkwardly on land, in the water, they are as graceful as ballerinas—giant ballerinas with whiskers, that is!
They have smooth fine fur and large whiskers next to their noses. Notice how big their flippers are!
I hope you enjoyed my pictures of the sea lions. Did you know that you can visit sea lions on the Oregon coast as well? Maybe someday we will do that together.
Lots of love and hugs and kisses,
Auntie

Nieces and Bubbles
For some reason there were bubbles in the hot tub. And the only thing to do with bubbles in a tub is to make a bubble beard. That's what.
