It's hard to believe this is the second year David has gotten to celebrate Father's Day. Bella and I really had fun making his gift this year. We have a family photo shoot scheduled for next week so I thought we would make him a picture frame to put one of the photos in for his new office. Bella and I found a frame at Michael's that you can color on with special markers which was right up Bella's alley. She is a very good little artist and as you can see is very meticulous about not mixing her colors. This beautiful creation (except the writing, of course) is ALL her doing (oh, and getting the tops off the markers was also my job).
For David's special day he wanted to go to Carmel and The Monterrey Bay Aquarium (we went for his birthday last year and since he loves all things fish he wanted to go one last time). We started the day at the beach in Carmel. It was unfortunately overcast and windy but Bella had a great time especially since the tide was out and so the sand was perfect for making sand castles.
And then it was off to the aquarium. Bella had a great time naming all the different marine life (we have a marine life puzzle) and so she would say "shark" (which a lot of times she would call Shamu!!), "crab", "jelly fish", and "star fish". There were also some sea otters which she had never seen before and after I told her what they were she goes "sea otter cute"! Surprisingly the aquarium was not very crowded so we got to see the whole thing. My favorite exhibit is still the amazing jellyfish! They also had a great little play area for kids.
They had this neat little kid-sized dome where all of a sudden waves would come crashing down. Bella thought this was so neat.
Gorgeous jelly fish
Shamu!
"Rock-horse" in Bella's words
What a wonderful day. To my wonderful husband, who is an amazing father, and to my own dad....I love you both so very much!
