a whale of a time

today we went on a 2 hour whale watching excursion and the whales put on quite a show for us! they came within 50 yards of the boat!!

at the very end we got to see a mom teaching her calf how to do a breach (where they jump and land on their back). it was SO cool! i obviously took a ton of pictures - but i'll just share a few of the mom and her baby -first we saw the baby try a few times. BUT how surprised were we when we got to see the mom do it!! it was as if she was saying ... nice try buddy but THIS is how you do it! :) and this was literally within 100 yards of us! crazy!

Great shots!! I went on a whale watching expedition once and was amazing. I'm so glad that you boys got to experience this!
