California Vacay Part 3

After spending time with G&G Forbes we went down to the Bay area to hang out with sisters Tanya and Patti and their families. We went to the Exploratorium and the dinky Aquarium. We tried to get a picture of all the cousins together, but made the mistake of waiting until the end. So this is the best I got.


Of course every fish tank and every aquarium now has to have a Nemo and a Dory (Finding Nemo is currently Ava's favorite movie).


This picture is not upside down. The jellies were swimming down, not up.
 And the glow in the dark jelly fish were cool. They looked just like this.

Ava looooved touching the starfish and the anemone.

That's it for photos. We also went to the beach and to Santa Cruz and rode our bikes a little along the coast. Ava cried when she first had to walk on the sand. Then she cried when we had to leave the beach. All in all, it was a really fun trip with the kiddos and great to see the sisters/cousins and grandparents. Ava is used to mostly boy cousins around here, so playing with Tanya's girls was a real treat for her. She had a permanent smile on her face when we were with them.

the jelly fish upside down are hilarious! Too much partying last night in the tank?

Glad you had a fun trip!
