This past Saturday, before leaving San Antonio where we had been working on the Vision Forum catalogue, we ventured to Sea World to get our week-long vacation started with a bang. We certainly enjoyed ourselves, but the best part was watching Calvin’s fascination with the animals. Below are some of the highlights from our outing there.

The killer whale — an amazing display of God’s creativity and design
The average males weigh in at about 12 thousand pounds

Calvin was thrilled to see the dolphins swim by within inches of where we stood
There was a mix of Pacific and Atlantic dolphins
Calvin would’ve jumped in if we’d let him 🙂

A very playful puffin follows me wherever I walk — enjoying having his picture taken
