Black Eyes, Whale Watching, and Toilet Locks






Well, Einar got his first black eye on Friday morning just after he got out of bed. He had walked into the downstairs bathroom and slipped on the linoleum and his face met the floor. He recovered quickly, but the black eye was here to stay. I took a picture of it yesterday just so you all wouldn't worry about him too much. Now that he is walking around in a determined if still wobbly way, he's a bit more bruised than when his mode of transportation was a sporty crawl.

Yesterday we all went out on a whale watching trip after church. We had a super time and saw not only grey whales and false killer whales but also some dolphins and sea lions. It was Einar's first time out on a boat and he seemed to kind of like to get his sea legs by walking around on the deck with us a bit. The boat ride was only two hours long and we left out of Dana Point Harbor which is just five minutes away from our house. He wore his yellow rain jacket and his new sun hat and he sure looked a lot like Grandpa Lee.
