Princess time

P1020547P1020551

On a recent trip to Disneyland we were on our way out the side of the castle on out way to Frontier Land and we turn and see Belle sitting down with a little girl and no one else around.  First I checked to make sure this wasn’t something special, but when the little girl was done Belle asked if we wanted to come over.  Well this made Bridget's day!  Belle is her favorite.  They got some time all alone to spend with Belle, and she was so nice and engaging with the kids.  They were in heaven, and it was the best part of the day.

California Science Center

A few weeks ago we were looking for something to do on a Saturday when I was searching on the internet can came across the California Science Center.  I looked fun so we drove down to check it out.  Wow!  I can’t believe I have never been there before!  So fun.  It was huge and the everything was hands on for the kids, and it was free. Yay.

Looking out into the gardens:

The polar room had an ice wall:

This aquarium was a tunnel you could walkthrough and then a whole wall of glass where you can sit and look at everything:

Dress-up

Bridget has just started getting into dress-up.  She loves to be a fairy.  To be correct, it’s a hula girl fairy princess.  I got this great picture and it just screams youth and imagination.

Technology

P1020532

Its amazing how at such a young age he can figure out how to work all the new technology so easy.  Ethan's new favorite sentence is “Daddy can I play with your I Pad?”

Mexican Rivera: Part Three

Our last port was Cabo San Lucas.  I had herd great things about Cabo but I think this was my least favorite spot.  We did hear later about some cool places to go so maybe if we get down there again we will check those out.  We walked around the  marina a lot and then hung out at the beach.  Once we sat at the beach I was happy to appreciate how beautiful my surroundings were.

Joseph bought these cool hand carved pots from this guy.  asked if we wanted them personalized and then sis it right there on the beach.  It was beautiful work.

On the marina these guys were carving up the sharks they caught for steaks.  The birds were excited for the scraps

And the seals were hanging out right there too!

We had a great trip.  Fun and relaxing at the same time.  We were so lucky to have my parents watch the kids for us so we could go enjoy ourselves!

Mexican Rivera Cruise :Part Two

Our second port was Mazatlan.  I really thought it was amazing here.  So much to see and do.  First we went to the old part of town and visited this beautiful cathedral.  I love cathedrals, they have always fascinated me, so it was a great treat to visit this one.
