Quiet Friday

The past few days I have had the annoying misfortune of waking up at 6:45.   I tried to go back to sleep with no luck.   After several days of this, I figured out what was going on.   I'm a little slow...I had not been reading my Bible.   I am currently working my way through the one year Bible, old and new testaments.  I am a few months behind from last year, but I am determined to finish.   When I was in Houston, I would get up when Jason got up at 5:30, read my Bible, and then set about my day.   This included getting my daughter off to school.   Here our schedule is a bit more chaotic and and as a result my time with the Lord has been sporadic.   I am thankful for the early wake up call to get me back on track.   I use some of our late nights as an excuse to sleep in.   Truly, I need to be up, dressed, and ready to start the day at 8:00.   Then we can get our schooling done in a timely manner and our violin practice times in.   So there is my confession.   Feel free to ask me how my time with the Lord is going.   I will welcome the accountability.

Wednesday was our final day on set.   Since we didn't have to be on set until 3:00 I decided to make a field trip out of the day.   We went to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium which was in the area.
  

My son and I visited a couple of weeks ago, but my daughter was working and didn't get to go.   I had her take a notebook to take some notes.   In the tide pools on the shore, we saw lots of sea anemones, sea urchins, and snails.   I wanted her to learn something about the animals we saw in their natural enviroment.  We went to those exhibits first.    My daughter made some notes on those animals.   Then we looked at the crustaceans, moon jellies, and sharks.   The aquarium opens their touch pools three times a day for 20 minutes.   We went to the touch pools when it opened.   The aquarium provides a docent while the pools are open to give information and answer questions.   We stayed the entire 20 minutes.   We went to the exploration center of the aquarium.  Here they have lots of hands on stuff.   They also have an open tank of tide pool animals that you cannot touch.   It has more animals in it than the outside touch pools.  One of the docents noticed my daughter making notes from the tide pool demonstration and told her she would give her an in depth discussion on the tide pool animals in this room.   The docent did not disappoint.    We talked with her about 30 minutes.   We got to touch a sea cucumber and a few other animals.   We watched a brittle star flip itself over in about 10 seconds and a ray star take about 5 minutes to flip itself over.   We saw shark eggs with the shark embryos moving around inside.   I felt like we had a couple weeks of science lessons in a few hours.  

Next, headed over to the set for the final shot they needed.   We ate lunch and got the final shot.   Ok, pictures. I forgot my DSLR on our final day on set. I had to use my the camera on my phone. The pictures are not the greatest, but better than nothing
