The Aquarium

Mary visited the Aquarium for the first time today!

Watching the penguins. This was one of Mary's favorite activities since she had an unobstructed view.

Checking out some coral.

Taking a quiz.

Looking for ways to waste Mama and Pabbi's money.

Making herself at home.

Phone pictures

Here are some recent pictures I've taken during outings with my phone.

Boogying on the sidewalk.

Learning about the tortoise...

...and the hare.

Taking a break at the playground.

Rocking her shades while out for a walk.

Befriending a squirrel, until it became overly interested and then it wasn't fun anymore.

The only picture with Mama where Mary isn't blurry.

Visiting Great-Grandpop

Here are pictures from our visit with Great-Grandpop this morning.

This looks like a good book!

Leaving Pop to do the dirty work with Baby Lily.

Mary found something that makes her happy: a picture of herself.

Pigtails

Here are some recent pictures of Mary with pigtails -- I refuse to give up!

"Mama, will you please give this a break?"

Examining her Minnie Mouse cup.

Moments before the pigtails were pulled out.

Play time with Jack

Mary and I visited Jack and Nanny Elizabeth this morning and had a lot of fun.

A little farm play. Luckily Jack was wearing his overalls.

Book o' doggies.

Snack time. One of Jack's favorite games was trying to guess how many Cheerios Mary could fit into her mouth. Obviously she was on-board with it.

Jack's lawnmower needed servicing.

Halloween

Mary went trick-or-treating with her cousin Jack and two other kids last night and she had a blast.

Posing with Nana and Pop, pre-costume.

Mary and Jack were leading the pack.

Stopping at the first house. It didn't take the kids long to get the hang of things.

Swarming around the bowl of candy.

Inspecting her loot.

Mama and Mary.

Resting their legs after all the walking.

Hugs goodbye!

Fun with Pabbi

Mama went away for a few days so Pabbi and Mary got some bonding time. Here are a few pictures that Pabbi took on his phone.

Taking a break from the stroller.

Zooming down the slide.

Mary has become quite the climber.

Here she comes!
