Aquarium

Had a really cool day today. Daddy took me to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. It was sooooooo much fun. I got to see jellyfish and a turtle and fish and well lots of neat stuff. I saw the Bat rays fed up close. So close they splashed water all over daddy. I saw some big sharks and some little sharks too. Daddy wouldn't let me pet the stingrays because he says I'm not gentle enough yet. Whatever! I bite his arm really hard one time and he thinks I'm going to pull a stingray's tail. He is right though. Those tails looked so grabbable. Maybe when I'm older. I like watching the seals and sea lions zoom by. I think my swimming abilities are not quite as good as theirs but I'm getting close. I was very impressed with the clown fish. They made me giggle. I can't wait until I can go SCUBA diving with Mommy and Daddy. Since I enjoyed myself so much, Daddy got us a membership so we can go back all the time. Yeaaaaaaah!
I'm looking froward to getting on a plane this Sat and heading up to Portland to see my peeps. Megan, James, Harrison and Owen I hope you are ready for me cause I'm gonna bring it.

My fun weekend

It's a heat wave!
We went for a long walk to the Hawaiian festival and the park on Saturday. I got a pretty new aloha dress.
I went swimming in the ocean with mommy & daddy after church on the beach on Sunday.
I was scared of the waves at first, but then I saw some nudie doody kids swimming near by and I decided to show off my swimming skills. I ate a lot of sand! It was a great weekend.

Getting Into Mischief

I'm ready for vacation!

Mommy has been prepping me for my big Portland vacation in a few weeks. She left me with my best buddy, Finn & his daddy yesterday while the mommies went shopping in Bev Hills.
I was the perfect house guest. Finn was napping when I got there, but I didn't mind. I entertained myself with his toys. When he woke up, we happily chased each other around the room, screeching and fighting over toys. Then I went down for my nap, just on time, like a good girl. No problem. I had my doggie there to cuddle with, so I was fine. Later, we danced to music & had a snack. Finn showed me how to get into lot's of trouble, crawling up onto the couch, around the barriers and down the hall so we could play in his room. His daddy got it all on video so mommy could get a good laugh.
Finn spent some time at our house last week and he was not as happy. He was scared of me and missed his mommy, so he cried and they had to come back for him. I think he likes it better when I visit his domain. I'm easy, I like to play anywhere. I'm a tough chick. As soon as I got home, I decided to show mommy what I'd learned. I crawled up the stairs on my own for the 1st time. Watch out world, here I come!
I'm quite the social butterfly lately. I've been on play dates at the park and house parties all week! It's been exhausting, but so much fun!

Happy 4th of July!
