Brandon flew up to Seattle yesturday to drive back down with his brother for school, so Gabrielle and I went up to my Mom's. My Mom, Kathryn, Kristen, Gabrielle and I went to Pine View Dam for the Ogden Paddle Festival. It was a beautiful day and the water was perfect. Gabrielle was in heaven just playing in the sand and mud and letting the waves splash her. She could have stayed out there all day. They had kayak's that you could take out, which was a lot of fun.
Gabrielle is now walking! She is so darn cute. She really takes "baby steps" and is a little awkward, but has pretty good balance and sure gets around. She has already had one little accident, thus the red mark on her forehead.
We went to Wheeler Farm yesturday. We saw Cows, ducks, horses, pigs, rabbits, roosters, I think that is about it. It was fun, but very hot and not worth the long drive to Salt Lake. Gabrielle is getting another tooth and hates being in her car seat, so it was a day with lots of crying as we also tried to get a few other errands done. We will be doing activities and errands closer to home from now on!
She started out the trip with a smile!
Brandon came home with a fish the other day. Gabrielle loves it and is so cute making her fish face.
We have enjoyed watching the progress of our garden. This is our first year having one and we have already tried two ears of corn and several pea pods. We also have tomatoes, yellow peppers, carrots, watermelon and pumpkins. I am most excited for the tomatoes. Brandon doesn't like them but wants to try one just because he planted and watched them grow, so we will see how he likes them.
Gabrielle loves to climb in, on, out, over, etc., etc., on everything. She is now taking 3-8 steps or so on her own, it is so cute.
We went to the Zoo our last day in Seattle. Gabrielle loves animals and has several sounds that she makes. She loved the petting zoo where she got to pet a bunny rabbit and several sheep and goats.
