Two days ago on our last day in Seward, we went to the Alaska Sea Life Center. \u00a0We got to see the Steller Sea lion being fed. \u00a0It did lots of tricks like jumping out of the water, climbing up on rocks, and lying down. The keeper had really good aim when throwing fish and the sea lion was really good catching fish. \u00a0 I learned that male full grown Steller sea lions can weigh from 990-2470 pounds, with the average being 1199 pounds. They are 9.3-10.7 feet long with the average being 9.8 feet long. \u00a0We also saw an octopus, salmon, puffins, live barnacles, seals, and many other things. \u00a0Then we got to touch some sea stars, sea urchins, hermit crabs, and anemones. \u00a0One anemone grabbed me when I touched it. It was cool!<\/p>\n
Yesterday we drove from Seward to Homer. \u00a0On the way, we stopped to see the dip netting. \u00a0Dip netting is where people catch salmon with big nets and long poles. \u00a0You are only allowed to dip net if you have lived in Alaska for at least a year. \u00a0 There were so many people it was crazy. \u00a0The people were chest deep in the water with their nets. \u00a0The gross part was that the beach was covered with fish heads.<\/p>\n
This morning we explored the tide pools at the beach. \u00a0I found a bunch of little hermit crabs. \u00a0Little Kid and I went on a little spit to see some jelly fish. \u00a0A minute later we realized we were stranded because of the rising tide. \u00a0We had to wade back. \u00a0We had fun even though we got very wet.<\/p>\n Two days ago on our last day in Seward, we went to the Alaska Sea Life Center. \u00a0We got to see the Steller Sea lion being fed. \u00a0It did lots of tricks like jumping out of the water, climbing up on rocks, and lying down.
