Finding Nemo

The major attraction for our trip was the aquarium.  We had heard many great things about it.  Since Adam was the only one at the training the instructor let him out a little early one day so we could go and have a little more time. 

We spent quite a while there.  Naomi loved watching the fish. They had areas where you could touch some sea creatures.  I tried to catch some shrimp but they did not cooperate with me.  Naomi did not mind touching the water surface...but she would go no deeper than that (unless she was assisted a lot).

When you ask her what her favorite part was.  "I found NEMO (and Dory)" is her response. 

She also loved the shark tank.

  She was very concerned that we should be quite.

They also had some beaver and otters.  She was uncertain abut the he beaver.  But she LOVED the otters.

I am not sure why but there was a short period of time when she had to have her hands over her ears.  The aquarium was very quite.  But I guess she thought the fish were going to make a loud noise.

This was a place that you could touch stingrays and baby sharks. The stingrays were quite friendly.  They liked to splash.

 

Family/business trip

We were blessed by Adam employer to be able to go on a family/business trip.  Adam had some training that he needed and his boss asked if Naomi and I would like to go along.  The next few posts will be about our trip.

On our way we made a stop by our favorite parks.  It was good to get out and stretch and run around a bit.

 

So fun.  We reached our destination.  And checked in to our hotel.  We got a room with double queen beds.  Naomi was in HEAVEN! She had a huge bed to stretch out in.  

 

Our first night we took it easy.  Naomi and daddy watched some TV.

Daddy's girl

"Mommy, Daddy is a cute boy!" Naomi Boyd.

Puppy!

You would think my daughter wanted a puppy.  But she has one.  They are even learning to play together. It is so much fun to see them play together.  They are buddies! When Naomi is not around Rubia just pouts.  It is pretty sad. 

A few weeks ago my daughter's boredom level must have been at an all time high and her creativity level at a high.  I  came in the kitchen to cook supper and I discovered that She was playing fetch with....HERSELF!

She would throw the rope over the banister and then run over to it's location, pick it up in her mouth(yuck), then crawl back to the kitchen.  There she would drop the rope, bark, stand up and repeat the process. 

She did it for at least 10 minutes.  And she has done it several times since.  I think the dog was just as amused as Adam and I were.
