One tactic to keep Lu occupied was to blow some bubbles I had in the diaper bag leftover from a wedding. Lucia loves bubbles! Thank goodness we were seated outside!

I just love how Lucia says "Hi Cat!" in a high pitched voice! Kind of feel bad for the cat, though, Lu hasn't learned how to pet cats the right way yet. :-)

Whatcha lookin' at Lu?

Fuzzy picture, but illustrates the game of "fetch" Lucia was enjoying between Mama throwing her little soft baseball into the garden, and Lucia running after it!

One sniff of Dada's Talisker Scotch and that was it for Lu!
