We have had a fantastic first day at Toyon Bay! The day started very early(5:00AM) with breakfast and smiles on all the sleepy faces. After breakfast we arrived at the pier to board our lovely ferry over to Catalina Island. We had some time to kill before boarding, so the kids were creative and kept themselves busy......
Once we boarded the boat, I think exhaustion had set in. The kids got to relax and enjoy a 2 hour ride to Toyon Bay.
Being a chaperone can be very hard work, right Mr. Chapman???
Wow...Mr. Black are you sleeping on the job too???
The chaperones weren't the only ones that were tired!
Once we hit landfall, it was time for our first lesson on snorkel safety. The kids were very excited to get in the water. But first, we had to fight the battle with the wetsuits, dah da dah........
During the snorkel adventure we saw some pretty amazing sea life. The kids got to see Garibaldi, Opal Eye, Starfish, Bat Ray, Sea Pansy, Salp, Squid Egg, Shovel Nose Guitar Fish and a 5 foot Leopard Shark! Tonight-squid dissection, what could be better?
