Monterey vacation

The beach in Carmel, Eowyn is bringing building materials to Giana.

Dolly is bundled up on the beach.

The girls are collaborating on building the perfect sand castle.  After building, they stomped it, because Eowyn says that is as much fun as building.

This is a diver feeding the fish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Whale watching

This is a humpback whale we saw in Monterey Bay.

Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

We had a beautiful day today, and decided to go to the zoo.  Gia read in the newspaper that one of the zoo's beluga whales died recently.  When we told Giana, she was very upset.  We got her some flowers to take to the zoo.

We saw the surviving Beluga at the Rocky Shores Exhibit.

Giana and Seneca got popcorn from the refreshment stand.

I got a picture of all four girls right before we left.

Perry Girls win sectionals

Gia's twin nieces, Cortney and Casey, go for a rebound in Perry High School's big win.

Stall Tactics

One of the girls' latest stall tactics is to come down after bedtime claiming to be hungry.  If we feed one of them the rest will surely follow.  We have taken to giving them pieces of unadorned white bread to eat, which they happily do if it means they can stay up five minutes longer.
