The only photos I took today were of a mama bird and her three little fledgelings following her around, watching her pick through the spruce cones.  Poor Kadin didn't get a photo today.  But that's ok, I have more than enough others to fill in for me…
Here are two more from our day in Wasilla…

In the afternoon, we biked over to our new place and were busy planting a baby sunflower and working on house projects while Kadin chilled in his comfy outdoor pavillion.  On the way home, we passed a momma moose and her two older calves.

We just got a little wooden walker, on loan from Rachel until her little girl is old enough for it.  Can't wait to try it at home or on something other than grass.  Kadin is starting to try to stand without holding onto something, and I think he's just itching to start walking.

Last day of the trip - got to get a few dips into the ocean while Sonia or her sister Zoe kept an eye on Kadin.  Here is Zoe with her daughter Mia, who was so excited to hang out with "Baby".

And here we are, preparing for a 4 hour direct flight to Anchorage.  Fortunately, we had an aisle seat this time and our neighbor was a father of an 8 year old with another one on the way.  He loved getting some baby time and was a HUGE help!

Kadin and I spent 5 days camping at Carpinteria State Beach Campground.  It was a bit crowded for me, but he loved watching all of the other kids in the area and was at home in the spacious tent Sonia lent us — so big I could easily stand up in it!

 Sonia, Kadin, and I woke up to a beautiful morning at Veteran's Memorial Park Campground, near Monterey.  Kadin took his post-bottle nap en plein air and seemed pretty darned content.  The long ride south was a bit of a drag for him, but he did enjoy our stop at Piedras Blancas, to see the elephant seals!

Muir Beach with Teri and Naia! Sand and grass and warmer weather than Alaska!  It was a beautiful foggy and breezy day in the high 50s and Kadin LOVED it.  So did Naia since she got to play hooky from school!
