Getting in touch with our natural side

Ruby + I decided to mix things up and go outdoors to appreciate a little nature in our own backyard – so when the opportunity came up to purchase a parking pass at the El Dorado Park Nature CenterĀ  at a seriously reduced price, we decided to jump on the opportunity! Even better – our new friends Amber + Nora live nearby and were happy to join us!

Nora is a natural on the rocks and lends a confident hand to Miss Ruby, who is definitely the City Slicker of the two. (Just like her momma)

Amber, besides being an awesome momma + awesome friend, turns out to be an awesome photographer as well! We are looking forward to many more jaunts outdoors with these two!

The Aquarium is always better with friends


We spent a super fun day at the aquarium with The Cahns – Ruby’s friend Olive, and her very cool parents, Kim + Andrew. It was really crowded, but it was still fun to watch these girls have so much fun!

First, the girls got wet outside with lots of “spraying” water …

Then, they got more wet splashing in the pools of the Watersheds Exhibit …

They checked out Shark Lagoon …

And even the other sea life.

I caught this cool pic of Ruby in front of the jellyfish (The jellyfish are my favorite to look at).

A bird even landed on my shoulder!

Kim got to feed one, too …

And, Ruby even got to see a dog!

Super fun day – thanks for hanging out, Cahn Family! :)
