Another World

The sea is as near as we come to another world

Looking through the glass at the Monterey Bay Aquarium was really like looking into another world.  Here are a few of the lifeforms we saw!

We had tons of fun looking at all the different animals. The sea otters were our favorite because they seemed so playful.  We made it just in time for a feeding which was a lot of fun to watch. Sometimes I feel bad for animals that should be out in the wild, but it seemed like they took good care of the otters and from what they said each otter had a reason they couldn't be released again.

Really every thing was amazing.  It is incredible to think we share a world with such fascinating animals.  And so many more we haven't even discovered! Our beautiful earth is truly a gift from our loving Father in Heaven.  I know we hear it a lot and sometimes get tired of hearing it, but it really is important to consider the impact we are having on the world, this world that is home to so much more than just you and me.  As our Heavenly Father's children we have been given this earth to enjoy, but we also have been given it to take care of.


In Monterey we also enjoyed some beach time. 

Just  chasing some waves...

and putting our feet in the sand...

Life is truly grand!
