Plushie invertebrates...

[senoritafish]

Over the kid's Spring Break, so runsamuck took the kids to the Aquarium of the Pacific. In a recent cleanup, Gareth's stuffed friend Whalie, an orca, disappeared, and he's been very upset about losing her. So Dad got him this octopus; Gareth has dubbed him "Blue." I think he's supposed to be a blue-ringed octopus - larger than actual size, but hopefully, less toxic.




It has mantle openings, a siphon, and even a beak!

I was hoping John would take the kids by himself, like I do quite often, but his friend Alex and son Sterling went too.

Gareth is handsome!

He sure is - where'd that come from?

I'm always on the lookout for photogenic talent. My cousins' little kids are soooo adorable right now. Just the right age to understand instructions like, "Hug your cousin and look back at me." And very little and cute. They are total hams.

Oh yes - Avalon is the ham. She's always begging me to take her picture.

*agrees with above comment!* Look at his glorious hair! He's a gorgeous kid and that plushie is way cool.

Heh, we always get comments on how beautiful their hair is just before John takes 'em to get it all chopped off. It's the weirdest thing: the boys got my coarse, curly hair and the girl got John's fine, wavy hair.

Actually, Gareth looks very similar to how John did as a kid.
