March 19
today we went to the pacific marine mammal center and laguna koi ponds in laguna beach. the pacific mmc is where they rehabilitate hurt or abandoned seals & sea lions for release back into the ocean. there were 14 sea lions and 2 elehant seals that we saw. and while we were there they sent the truck out to a rescue. their facility covers the entire orange county coastline. it was fun to see the animals. the kids enjoyed watching them play and i enjoyed the "tour". 
the koi ponds are a few doors down and were interesting as well. the fish would swim right up to the kids and almost jump out of the water. (feeding time?)
since we were already down there, we also got some stamps in our reader rally passports. we visited el toro library on the way down, then laguna woods, and laguna hills. my plan was for laguna beach after the mmc, but we ended up down there trying to find food for lunch and were too hungry to stop before lunch then too excited to see sea lions to stop after so we skipped that one. while following our little gps lady, we went down this street that suddenly said "use low gear" (for everyone, not just trucks.) when we were almost to the top, i could not see where we'd be going, but i trust the little gps lady so i went. we made it down, but the boys thought we should not ever try to go up for fear of flipping over (they said). i'm with them!
on the way home, we took a slight detour off the 405 on the way home to visit the fountain valley library and get jojo another one of the amazing burritos we had from taco bell for lunch! he really liked it i guess. it was a fun day!
