Oregon Coast Aquarium
While we were on our "last of the summer" mini vacation we went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon. Lauren loved watching the sea otters. The one in the picture stayed right by the window and entertained Lauren for quite a while. We then went to the sea lion and harbor seal tank. Lauren was also entertained by quite a few seals. We had a real good time.

Halloween sneak-peek.
Lauren is doing dress rehersal for Halloween. She is going to be a SUNFLOWER! She loves flowers.
Since Lauren doesn't like sweets she is hoping for green beans, spinach and avocado. Grilled salmon, poached eggs or yogurt would be great too.
The sunflower costume was a big hit. We now have it hidden in her closet waiting for her debut.
Monkey on my back!!!!
We are planning a couple of trips this fall and thought Lauren might like her own backpack.... well, she loves it. She has been walking all over the house with her monkey backpack. We even loaded it with some of her favorite toys. That made it even better! Lauren will have a chance to try out her backpack as we are heading out to the Northern California and Oregon Coast next weekend. Lauren wants to make a last trip to the ocean while we still have summer weather.

Boohbah Blanket
Robbie, our friend and neighbor across the street (also known as Aunt Robbie), made Lauren a Boohbah blanket. Lauren loves watching the Boohbah DVD's and Aunt Robbie thought she needed her own Boohbah blanket. Lauren loves it. The blanket became an immediate favorite and will sure come in handy this winter keeping Lauren warm as she is watching her show. Robbie and her husband Brian are in the process of adopting a little girl from Guatemala. Her name will be Riley. We hope Riley will be home soon. Lauren will enjoy having a friend next door. You can follow Robbie's, Brian's and Riley's adoption journey at: http://rj06.blogspot.com
