Slot Machine

While we were at Great Grandparents Mel saw the slot machines. Deborah's Grandma went and grabbed some coins so Mel can play it.

Yes we were teaching her early, but she was having fun doing it.

OUCH!!

Melissa had an unfortunate accident with a game machine and whacked her head into it! Don't worry she is just fine! It looked a lot worse than it really was!

Doesn't she just look cute in this picture!

Flying a Kite

After we left San Diego we went on to Kingman, Arizona to visit Deborah's grandparents. There we found a kite and Melissa got her first taste of kite flying!

Melissa just loved flying the kite..

...so much fun that Dad had to get involved!

Shamu

Before the show started Melissa was telling Shamu to come out and play. When the whales finally came out she was so excited she was screaming "Yea Shamu!"

Baby Beluga

When we were at Sea World we went and saw the animals that was there. When she saw the Beluga whales. She started to sing baby Beluga word from word and everyone just watched her sing the song and when she was done everyone clapped for her.

Playground fun
