November 2012



My sister and her two children came to visit in November.  It was such fun to have them here, especially after not seeing them for two years!  We took a couple outings with them to the California Science Center to see the space shuttle Endeavor, and to Crystal Cove State Beach for tide pooling.  The highlight of the tide pools was a small octopus that stole a pair of sunglasses and didn’t want to give them back.  The octopus was more interested in the glasses than it was in anything else, and came all the way out of its den to try to get them.  Maybe those cartoons of octopuses with sunglasses on aren’t so far from reality!
