Bekah ws really interested in the sea lions and was peering over to look at them ... I was just thinking "I really ought to take her dummy/pacifier/binky out ..." when she spat it out!!! Since people were feeding the sea lions at the time one of them immediately grabbed it!! Oh no!!! We told an attendant ... who asked us which one got it ... "errr, the grey one?" But whichever one it was obviously realized their mistake and spat it out and eventually they were able to hook it out of the pool with a net (after another one grabbed it!!). It was really funny but I am very glad none of them swallowed it!
