Gavin loved all the animals except the pony. I think she was a little too ‘in your face’ for his taste. I’m sure he will warm up to her next time.

Everyday Gavin is walking better and better. It is only a matter of time until he will be joining The Ministry of Silly Walks.

Gavin asked to go see “quack quacks” which is how he refers to pretty much any bird-like animal. We managed to find a few geese, a duck, and a crow which hadn’t melted from the heat outside.

We spent a three day weekend in San Luis Obispo to show Gavin around our old stomping grounds. It is amazing how much they have built at Cal Poly since I last visited! We also visited Pismo, Avila, and Morro Bay… lots of walks on various piers for Gavin.

We spent part of the last day of our central coast mini vacation at Avila. There must have been a large school of fish in the water of the bay. The pelicans were dive bombing into the water and the seals were swimming all around the pier. Quite a show mother nature put on for Gavin, Aliciana, and me.

We spent the afternoon at the fair to watch our friend Jialan shake her little Chinese booty with her salsa dance class. Even though it was 100 degrees out they did a great job! I think even the camel next door enjoyed their routine.

Gavin picked out this Halloween costume himself. I have a feeling he will be wearing it more than just Halloween night.

My son Gavin (Duck), my little brother AJ (Thomas The Train), and my little sister Michaela (Princess) are all dressed up and ready to get some candy.
