Rome 2011

This summer I took the most amazing trip to Europe.  It was the most fantastic trip of a lifetime.  I went with my mom, sister, and aunt, as well as our friends Vera, Susan, Kiersten, and Katie.  It was a fun trip, cruise of the Mediterranean Sea.  The cruise began in Rome, so we took the opportunity to go a few days before and see Rome.  We had two days and we were on a mission to see everything we could.  The first day, we took a tour of the Coliseum and the Forum, we saw the Pantheon, then walked to the Trevi Fountain and finished up at the Spanish Steps.  Rome is so incredible.  The old mixed with new really a site to see.

Last Daly of School

This is the picture of the the kids the first day of school:

Here are the kids on the last day, they change so much:

June 3rd was the last day of school.  It was also our last day at COC’s preschool.  I was sad and a little emotional.  The kids still have one maybe two years left of preschool but they are changing school next year.  We have had such an amazing time at COC.  The kids have grown and flourished.  The teachers and staff are excellent.  I am sad they are leaving but excited to try new things.  But for now it summer time!

Gentle Barn

In May we were able to go visit the Gentle Barn.  I have always wanted to go there, but they are only open to the public on Sundays so we have never been there.  Our twins club was able to get a special tour on a Saturday, so I was so excited to go!  It was so much fun, so many animals for us to pet and love.  Ethan was the barn whisperer, and every animal loved him and he was so gentle.  Bridget was a little nervous at first but soon warmed up, and loved feeding the horses.

 

Kidspace

I love Kidspace Museum!  Its such a great place to kids to learn and explore.  We recently took the day and went with Kimberly and Reid.  We had a great day, playing, digging for dinosaur bones, painting, water play, and ridding bikes, creating with clay, and petting a gecko.  That’s a lot for one day!

Disneyland Playgroup

I have a great playgroup that meets every week.  Its fun for the kids to have friends and play together.  A few weeks ago we all went to Disneyland for the day.  It was so fun!  We even got a picture with Pluto of all the kids together.
