Girls Trip

My mom's good friend, Sheron, from England came for a visit. They have known each other since they were little girls, and although my mom moved here when she was 11, these two have remained close and visited each other many times since then. Mom, Sheron & I took the girls and went for an overnight girls trip. We went to Gilroy for the day and had a wonderful shopping trip. Let's just say we did our part to help revive the economy ;) Then we headed to Monterey to stay overnight.

We went for a walk on the beach. All the girls!
Of course, Natalie was able to convince Nana to splash in the water with her.

Natalie & Nana created a mini sand castle.

The next day we had breakfast in Pacific Grove & then went to Cannery Row & the wharf to walk around and do a little more shopping. Natalie loved watching the sea lions. Especially this one that was very close to the walking path.

Natalie always plays with my camera and takes pictures of her toys, stuffed animals, us, etc. And, she is getting much better at focusing on things and not putting her fingers in front of the lens. She wanted to take some pictures of the sea lions so I let her use my mom's camera. She must have taken about 40 pictues of the sea lions. She had so much fun doing it, I couldn't bear to stop her. Here is a good one she took.

Then she took this one of Nana & Olivia.

Then she took this one of us. No joke! I was amazed that it turned out this well! We have a budding photographer on our hands!!! :)

Some girls walked by with a baby chihuahua. She HAD to pet it. She is OBSESSED with baby puppies right now. She still pretends she is one from time to time.

We have one week left with Sheron & we will for sure have a few more fun adventures with her while she is here!
