Photo Hunters: Fake

This week's Photo Hunters theme is fake.

We had a great time at the Monterey Bay Aquarium today, and the fun started even before we stepped inside. An otter-themed souvenir store on Cannery Row featured this gigantic fake otter that the kids fell in love with. All three insisted on having solos taken with him.

Speaking of fakes and otters, inside the store we found these Harry Potter knockoffs that I thought were absolutely hilarious! I just had to share it, but didn't think to take a photo at the time, so I searched the internet and found this (public) photo on Flickr -- thanks to chrisada for the photo!

That's so sweet. I could find room in my house for Hairy Otter for sure.

How clever. Boy, I had a tough time coming up with something fake. Y'all seem to make it look so easy for the theme.

Happy Hunting.

I love the Hairy Otter! That is too funny.

And I am so impressed that your kids love the big otter. My scaredy-cat of a son wouldn't have gotten near it. Those are "too scary" for him still.

Somewhere I have a picture of my daughter with a huge Shamu from SeaWorld. Certainly better than snuggling with the real thing.

Great picture for "fake." Your son is so cute.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Happy Saturday, Biker Betty :)
