Please Touch Museum

I took Claire to the Please Touch Museum today-- it was pretty cute! She slid down a slide by herself and crawled through a tunnel (a first for her). She liked looking at the baby-eye-level exhibits and playing in the Owl and the Pussycat's pea-green boat. The funniest thing about this museum is that both times I've been here it was late in the afternoon and we were here for closing. Instead of just making an announcement that the museum is closing and it is time to leave, a guy dressed up as the Mad Hatter plays a drum and leads a closing parade, and all the kids get tambourines and parade to the exit. Hilarious.

Thanksgiving in Phoenix

We had a fantastic time visiting Beth and Erick and the rest of the Marvin family in Phoenix for Thanksgiving. Claire loved seeing her Grandma and Grandpa Marvin and her aunties and uncles, and especially getting to hang out with Beth and Erick's three adorable dogs. Claire kept signing more dog, more dog! Thanks to Uncle Erick for these awesome pics!

Hawaii!!

We had an incredible time in Hawaii-- four days in Honolulu and four days at Kona Village on the Big Island for Alanna and Evan's fabulous wedding. Claire LOVED the water and got little tan lines in her arm rolls. Too short a trip!
