i have so many pictures from my time in the pacific northwest. i think i shot too many and it has become a task to go through them all and edit them. i am getting there though. here are a couple more from the trip that i had to share. we had the chance to go see whales….it was wonderful seeing them in their natural habitat. we went out with a company that did a great job at finding them. we end up in canada when we finally found them…i have never been there. whales are so amazing and it was fun to experience that with stella. she kept yelling out “whale….1-2-3″. she was so excited to see them and made a little friend on the boat. they were great whale watchers. it was so neat to see them in action. one whale stuck his head out of the water and it looked like he was checking us out. josh also played around with my camera and took some sunset photos. he really like to take pictures. we fell in love taking picture. i miss those days when we would go on dates and take photos of random things. that sounds weird. we took lots of photos downtown and around the area. the good old days when life was slower. that is a whole other topic….will blog later.

not our boat! just a random boat.

where are the whales?

there is the mama.

our captain. i love the map.

lots of animals on the way there. these sea lions were enjoying the sun.

these were the cute babies! reminded me of free willey when i was younger. that was my favorite when i was younger. the sound track was kickin.

if you look closely you can see the whale popping up to take a peek at something. looks like it is checking out the folks on the shore.

this little guy was the cutest kid! stella was checking him out! he reminded me of our good friends little boy.
