Dad and Gaby at the Aquarium

We went to Moneteray for the weekend. We swam at the hotel pool and went to the aquarium. One night away from home is the perfect amount of time when you have two children under 3.

Everyone had a great time.

Can not sit down to save her life

Gabs can not sit down to save her life.

We saw a huge metal boat mooring out on fisherman's wharf in Monetray and thought it might make for a nice photo. We tried to set Gabs up on it for a shot. Everytime we tried to sit her down she would leap up and run at the camera, shrieking with delight as she toddled towards it.

We spent about 5 minutes trying before we gave up. This is the best shot we could get.

Gabby's mischief face

Gabby's mischief face

It is becoming increasingly clear that Gabby has a bit of a naughty streak in her. I think this photo captures the essence of it.

She has recently begun to take special note of the objects on which her older sister is focussed and she manages to find a way to get them. Yesterday, she held out a book that Annabel wanted and then when Annabel reaches out to take it, she pulled it back!

She took great delight in doing it too. This is roughly how her face looked (although without the jello).
