Visiting family in Cali

We've been away from the blog because we went home to visit family! Here's some of our cousins from California! Aw!
We had a great time in California with the fam. It's a big party every time we get together. They showed us the sights and the sounds of the West Coast - woo hoo! We sunned ourselves on the beach, got ice cream and Pop worked on his tan. He's a nice deep shade of purple now.
You gotta love family. They feed you and look after you and let you watch lots of daytime TV. They take you to the beach and make sure you don't get burned in the sun. They help you make friends with seals! Speaking of which, we're worried about the seals at Seal Beach in San Diego!

The people don't want the seals to come sleep on the beach anymore, and the seals like this one special beach. People used to be able to go see the seals there and watch them play, but now it looks like they won't be able to! :-( Now they are chasing the seals off the beach.
What would happen if they wouldn't let us otters have a place to rest? How would we make friends with the seals? Or blog, for that matter? It makes us sad. I mean, everyone needs a place to swim and a place to sleep. We have our own otter pond! We are lucky otters.
