Aquarium!

Today Judit and I took the kids to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We haven't been in awhile and Judit had never been, so everyone was pretty excited. I brought the fancy-camera in the hopes that I could get some cool shots of the various sea creature and/or the kids.

Because you're not supposed to use flash (so as not to disturb the creature and because the light bounces off the glass) most of my pictures are pretty blurry. I'm still not very good with the manual focus and the auto focus has a hard time in low light.

So I didn't get a lot of pictures that I love. Below are some that are just ok.

Penguins!

Jellies!

More jellies!

Baby turtle!

Dragon-thingie (can't remember its name)

Octopus Garden

Looking through the scope... at the sky

Judit and the kids

Sometimes they're sweet to each other

After the Aquarium, Bubby slept and I did a photo shoot with Sissy so I could play with the settings. Here are my favorites.

A girl and her dog

Chalk

Love this girl

A girl and her dog...

Or should I say, a toddler and her dawGy!



I wish this one was less fuzzy:

First Word

Well, not really. But I was posting on my baby board and I remembered something I wanted to post.

Penelope's favorite "word" (using quotation marks since it's not associated with any thing/person/event) is "woah". As in "Woah, Nellie!" It's actually pretty funny.

Some other favorites:
Da, Ba, Gr, Gah, RR

I also think she's trying to day "doggy" and "kitty" since she loves, loves, LOVES the dog. She loves Harley-Quinn as much as she loves Bryan and I... possibly more.
