Monterey Bay Aquarium

Mina, Skyler (Andrew's BFF), Andrew, and Gabriela

Auntie Theresa, Uncle Matthew, Banu and I took these cuties to the Monterey Bay Aquarium when Uncle Matthew & Banu were visiting in June.  As soon as we arrived, it was snack time. For them, and then for the otters.

The kids loved playing in the water and comparing all their fish!

Who doesn't love a game of Ring Around the Rosie in the middle of the aquarium???

The touching pool was a huge hit. Gabriela held a decorator crab and bravely touched everything she could, asking tons of questions to the volunteers.

 

We were lucky it was such a beautiful day in Monterey!

The kids loved seeing Uncle Matthew and Banu.

While we were walking around Cannery Row, Gabriela jumped out of her stroller and requested her picture be taken with this fearsome pirate.

When they got home, the kids picked strawberries in Nana's garden. Oh, and Harry Potter made an appearance. They picked tons, but came in with nearly empty baskets and mysteriously red faces and fingers.

More love for Auntie Theresa

Enjoying her Gabriela sized mug of tea the next morning.
