Swimming

Gabi went swimming for the first time! Really, it was more just being cuddled while Mama and Papa waded in the pool, but she liked it.

Gabi's first time swimming was a success!

However, Gabi did not enjoy being licked
by the 4-month-old longhorn at the zoo.

Come on, Gabi; this cow is younger than you are! Really, she was smiling and quite interested in the calf right before this picture was taken, but then the baby longhorn licked her arm, and she made this face as she recoiled. We tried returning to take another picture later, but she remembered the calf and got upset as soon as she saw it again. Oh, well. The rest of the trip to the zoo was fun.

Gabi's second trip swimming was a more soporific event.

Although Gabi did have fun meeting more family at the family reunion, such as her second-cousin Jake and her more-remote cousin Gabriella.
