I'm thinking Florida!?

We took Abby to the aquarium for the first time a couple of weeks ago (well, maybe a little longer than that. Am I that far behind on my blogs!?). We went to the one in Gatlinburg and she absolutely loved it! Well, I have to admit, I did too. What a great chance to pull out my camera and get in a little practice!


I love the jellyfish. The way they move is amazing. So calming (well, when they are behind glass and not in the ocean floating right by my legs!).


This guy needed no editing. He (or she?) was a perfect subject!

Abby's favorite, on the other hand:

Giant Crabs!

She was totally enthralled with them.

Personally, I think they're kindof creepy. Long, thin legs. Spiny bumps all over their bodies....

...so, after the aquarium, Abby was super excited about getting into some water, so we let her take a bubble bath. Another first! She took it very seriously! Went all out!

Here she is before...

...and after!











A little frightening.

She looks a bit like 'the mummy' or 'Jason' with his hockey mask on!!

But, I tell you, she played hard, got all wrinkled up like a prune and slept great that night! She woke up looking every bit of her little toddler self again! Whew!
