We took a little drive south yesterday to check out a large display of elephant seals. Apparently-it's pup season! We went to Ano Nuevo State Park-Reserve. Thousands of seals swim to these shores for mating and pup season. The females are pregnant for 11months. We watched a pup being born-it took less than 5minutes! The mothers nurse their pups for 28days on the beach and then swim off and leave them.
We walked a total of about three miles--the kids did relatively well:) They did alot of walking for little legs. Thankfully, mom and dad provided piggyback and shoulder rides at some points. The girls were really into watching the seals and listening to the trumpet calls of the males!! But, I thinnk they enjoyed playing in the sand more:)
