My Water Babies

OK, so the scientist has two sets of arms.

Maybe she's a radioactive particle scientist~thus the four arms.

This Dolphin kept playing with Lillian. She would stay by the glass, blow bubbles and watch for Lillian's reaction. So very cool to watch!

Apparently 'water-love' is genetic. We took Lillian to her first beach visit (something she has repeatedly asked for since returning home) and couldn't keep her out of the water! Paul would set her down on the beach and she would turn tail and do her polished one-year-old sprint into the waves. What a blessing it was to share some of God's amazing creatures with Lillian! His creativity and perfection in each design astounds me; and to see my child get such enjoyment out of the things that fascinate Paul and I was truly wonderful. So, aside from almost missing our plane home and having to sprint through the San Diego airport with a baby, and things that accompany such a person, the trip was a perfect way to restore and rest our family. I'm beyond grateful for my wonderful child who thinks such sprints are highly amusing, and a husband who is hoss enough to run with a child, carry on, etc. for extended periods of time.
