Batiquitos Lagoon

Oliver was very full of energy today!  He played with Grammie in the morning for a little bit, they are working on the Cars sticker collection.  Grammie ordered the rest of the stickers that they needed.  Coolness!

Mommy and Oliver went for a short hike and visited the nature center at the Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad.  We had fun looking at all the animals in the nature center.  (Mommy had a couple things to figure out there.  One thing was she was searching for the name of a plant...)  We will definitely go back to the nature center, there is so much in that little space!  After we hiked up a big hill to see a view of the ocean.  It was a beautiful day.


Neat sign!

On the trail!


Headed to the nature center.

Coolest nature center!

Curious Oliver.

Walking past some animals.

They have so much you can touch there!

Red-tailed hawk.

Holding a turtle shell.

Oliver kept pointing out tracks.

We made our own tracks.  Our feet will probably
smell later because we weren't wearing socks.  Oh well!


The Lagoon.

He led the way to the top!

 The Lagoon, I-5, and the ocean.
Crazy tree roots!

We went down a really steep hill to
get back to the main trail.


Oliver had to scoot down on his bottom.  It was
kind of cute!

Rock Turtle.

A Bench.  (It would be nice to sit there and birdwatch.)
But we were on the go today!

Another bench.

Little Hiker.

Prickly Pear Cactus.

Mommy likes this plant that grows
on other plants like hair.


Wheatgrass on Saturday?  (Mommy needs it.)

The other view.  (Yums.)


Oliver took a nice nap this afternoon.  



Does anybody need a Zoe fix?
Mommy and Oliver did.  We got to watch her this evening!  She is the most scrumptious little baby ever!

She loved Oliver's bucket of cars!


Zoe eating.

She fell asleep on Mommy and Oliver kept
 giving her kisses, sweetness.
