One of Olive's favorite things we did was visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. She LOVED it there! It was so stinking crowded there, but we managed to see all the animals! She would SQUEAL while watching the otters play! She loved watching them swing from a dangling rope, and hide in big buckets. She loved them! She also loved the penguins, and still talks about them. I'm so glad she got to share this experience with her grandma!

She also got to meet her new baby cousin, Madison! At that point she was like six weeks old, and she's absolutely adorable!!! We held and cuddled with her and enjoyed visiting with her and Aunt Erin and Uncle Kyle! She remembered Erin from July, when she came to visit, and she was thrilled to see her! Olive is already looking forward to next Christmas when she can play with her baby cousin again!

We also got to take Olive to the Redwoods! We went to Henry Cowell park, which is minutes from the High School where Adam and I met, and Roaring camp. It was a little chilly out that day, but we really enjoyed the nice walk through the redwoods with our "fairy" daughter. She ran through the forest, climbed on the trees, and enjoyed the whole day. It's just amazing watching her see all these things for the first time. She was a little scared because she thought the "tree caves" might have bears....
In the end, we had an amazing trip! It was so nice seeing our families and spending time with each one of them! Olive still asks on a daily basis when we are going back! Hopefully, it will be this year!!
