Fresh from the Ocean

Over the weekend, we went out fishing with Susilo at Newport beach, CA. We went out early in the morning so we could catch some fish.

Susilo gave Putri some lessons about fishing. Putri enjoys fishing so much, especially when Hendra and Susilo let her reel in the pole when they caught a fish, Fun!!

A lot of surfers trying to catch the waves early in the morning. We love watching them surf the ocean, it was a beautiful day to catch some waves.

Hendra thought I was bringing some 'bad luck' because everytime I was around, they never caught any fish. But as soon as I went away, they caught some fish. They thought that I scared the fish away...

anyway, so this was pretty much what I did at the pier. watching the ocean, the waves, the birds,the whales, the surfers, and some other activities that people do early in the morning at the beach. I enjoyed it so much though, I love the sounds of the waves hitting the shore. Such a peaceful and happy feeling.

While Hendra and Susilo were busy fishing, we went for a walk and did some whale watching.

This picture is too precious. Jonas offered to carry Melati up the pier so that she won't get tired....How adorable!!

Being a big brother that he is, Jonas taught Melati how to look in the telescope so she could spot some whales.

Putri loves whale watching too. It was an absolute fun to see the surfers and the whales racing each other to catch the waves...super fun!!!

This is one of the whales that my camera caught. It was one of the most beautiful animals I have ever seen.

When I went back to the pier, Hendra and Susilo were already done fishing, sure enough they caught lots of fish and they were cleaning them up so we could cook them at home and have them for lunch. Hendra is showing us his catch of the day. He just can't wait to eat them.

We struck a pose before we left the pier and headed home to eat our lunch.

Deep fried fish for the kids, they love it!!

and Deep fried fish with some spicy sauce for us, ehhmmm...yum..yum!!!

Fresh from the Ocean.....This was the best lunch ever!!! Big Thanks to Susilo for his great company and showing us a great time while we were in California. Can't wait till we go back there again for more fun.
