Today was Vivian's 18 months and my dad, Gonzalo, turns 60 years old tomorrow! To celebrate their special day, we took a trip to the Huntington Library. Vivian and her grandpa had a great time exploring the gardens, walking around together and eating fruit. Vivian enjoys walking while holding leaves, a stick or tree bark in her little hands and today was no exception. Upon arriving at the gardens Vivian picked up a "walking" stick and proceeded to find herself a collection of leaves along her path. We spent much of our time in the cactus gardens and later hiked down a trail within a jungle that had a small waterfall and river. As we walked over the bridge where the stream flowed, Vivian pointed at the waterfall and exclaimed "Agua!" At the bottom of the trail the river empied out into a small lily pond where Vivian sat on a rock. By this time, Vivian was so tired and hot from walking so much that she almost jumped into the lily pond! She must have thought that it was a big bathtub :)
The flowers were in bloom, the plants were green and the weather was very pleasant. All in all, it was just a beautiful day!
