We took Sierra and Kade down to the County Fair in Watsonville (where else would they ever see pigs, goats, and cows up close, not to mention the emu eating out of Laura’s hand?). This being Santa Cruz county, there were sea lions in addition to the usual livestock- for a donation to the Marine Mammal Center in Moss Landing, we got their pictures taken with one of the gang.
Kade has developed a fondness for ikura sushi, with its patina of salmon eggs on top of rice. Every time he eats it, I’m reminded of the Pautzke’s Green Lab salmon egg bait we used for ice fishing (marked “not for human consumption”). Blech.
