New faces from the train. Finally got to ride the light rail again after a long absence, not too bad of a result I suppose.

Lynette shows my new book to the Science Club students. They all seemed interested at least. Everybody that is, except for Kai.

So lesson learned; I won't be parking there again! And that's not covered on the insurance.

This goes back to when Amara was 3 months old but it remains one of my favorite photos of her and her great grandma, Clara.

Doug as a wee pup, 1969. Why are there so many pictures of Jackson's eating, I wonder?

Kayaking and camping in Monterey! We took members of the Science Club at Leigh HS on another trip to Monterey last weekend which is why I sort a post now. It's always fun to go on the water and each time I do, I want my own kayak more and more. Next year Amara will be old enough to join us on the water so I'm looking forward to that as much as she is.
And though it seemed like I lost my camera for the majority of the trip, I found it in time to take some photos of the Aquarium. I love the MBA and they have this great new seahorse exhibit I recommend if only for the really cool metal work that decorates the displays. The sea dragons are very cool and are worth wading through the five person deep crowds to see. Here are some photos from Sunday's excursion before we all came home.Above was an experiment just to see what kind of shot I could get. A happy accident, even if Kai isn't the main focus anymore.
Amara was kinda having a bad day but she allowed us to get this shot of her.
A diver feeding the fish in the Kelp Forest...This is the site where we got married.
Frogs on a log.
Olivia, Jacqueline and Adam do their 'best' pirate'. Aarrr.
Congrats to Jacqueline and Adam on their graduation from LHS this year! Good luck in the future. I think I'm going to like having Olivia (who is a freshman this year) go on other trips like this assuming she stays in Science Club because she brought along Styx: Greatest Hits which we all listened to in the truck on the way home.

Sleepy Kai and Daddy's elbow. Taken by Amara with her camera. We are taking kayaking trip this weekend so I'll be afk for a few days. This and the 141st post should hold you for a spell. I'll hug an otter for all of you. I guess it's pretty cool Amara is already working into thirds with composition(0:
