Whale Watching

So Josh and I are trying to show these kids a good time this summer ( without having to drive far or get on a plane) so we had these whale watching tickets that we wanted to use.
Booked the trip late last night and we were off sailing this morning.
The pod was close to Fidalgo Island and we saw them within 30 minutes of being on the boat.
Spectacular view. The kids were excited all was good.
I'll spare you the details of the swells picking up and me feeling like I was going to give up my breakfast in the bathroom for 30 minutes. Lets just say I've been off the boat for two hours and I still feel the rocking.
The kids did great. I laugh at the thought of Josh who was going to originally just take the kids and himself on this tour.
The kids were great, but also going opposite directions on the boat.







 Lucky day for us going under the Deception Pass Bridge.
 Two hours into the tour I had to pull out the tricks or snacks and ex- large tic tacs that I am sure are all over the boat still.
 Josh in good spirits chasing the kids around the boat.
 Me, well just trying to get through it. Thank goodness this was not a booze cruise or other wise I would have been green in this photo.

 This does not happen often, but when it does it's pretty spectacular.

Gotta love a staycation! Sorry about the seasickness, you might have been more green if you had been drinking but at least it would have been a more fun! love a little cuddle time.

What a cool trip with the whole FAM. Nicole you and Josh, "get it" and your kids are both blessed to have such cool parents like you guys.

It's what you do With your kids, not what you do for your kids that count.

Keep taking those kids on Adventures in life.
