Seal beach pups and a few friends

There were a bunch of really cute seals and their pups on the seal beach by Hopkins Marine Station today. The pups are starting to be weaned and some of them still want to nurse.

Lots of molting action on this sea elephant.
Just look at this cutie! Look at those cute eyes!
