Hi Koi

We took a couple hours today to walk around Fashion Island and let the kids feed the koi fish. They LOVED it! They shared their cherrios and the koi fish loved them. They all swarmed the top, being that it's not deep the kids got to see them really up close.

Ellanie put one foot in before I caught her, she wanted to swim with them!
Super fly...
Logan's not sure who we brought the stroller for, but he thought he would help with pushing it. Clearly it's not for him :)

Sea World

Before heading to sea world we had fish tacos at San Diego sportfishing, one of Cory's favorite places and where all the fishing boats for San Diego leave from.

It was a perfect day for Sea World with the Santiago's and it was the first time for the kids! Although we got passes so we will be back allot this year.

The first thing we did was watch Shamoo and the excitement from the kids was truly priceless. They were a little scared at first but Ellanie was quick to stand up and start clapping.
We did a little shopping after
And then sat down for lunch
We fed the sea lions, the kids held the sardines and dropped them down. They loved it and were not afraid at all. The sea lions are really loud and the birds are very aggressive trying to get the food from you.

They have a great kids play area and that's where we spent the rest of the evening.

Ellanie thought that person in the mirror looked so familiar and then she realized it looks just like her.

They have a big area will water toys, tunnels and places you can get squirted.

Dirt

Logan couldn't wait to play in the soil emptied out of the flower pot!

Ellanie thought it looked like a good idea but then decided she didn't want her hands dirty.

It's Tuesday...

And that's a pretty exciting day in our house. Its TRASH DAY! The kids love trash day, we watch all three trash trucks come throughout the day. They love everything about trash, taking the cans out, throwing something in the trash and simply the word trash :)

Monday night they get to help Dad fill up the cans and roll them out to the curb.

Then we start Tuesday off with breakfast, the kids are big breakfast eaters. They love french toast, crapes, egg burritos, biscuits and gravy and bagels with cream cheese. So almost everyday we start off with a big breakfast.
Then we head outside to wait for the trash truck to come.
It must be close :)
HAPPY TUESDAY!

Memorial Day BBQ

We had a great time at Grandma and Grandpa Case's house for Memorial Day. It was so nice to also have Grandma and Grandpa Martin with us visiting. It was filled with family, great food and lots of playing for the kids.

Logan has mastered the rock wall and is ready to go with Uncle Erich.
Eli, Peyton and Zeke
Grandma and Grandpa's garden is the best! The kids love picking the tangerines and taking them to Grandpa to peel.
Playing in the dirt in the side of the house
The kids picking out their rocks for painting
Everyone got to paint and decorate their own rock.... They loved it

Happy Birthday Jacob!

The kids had a great time celebrating their friend Jacobs birthday. They bounced in the bounce house and then took the race car train over to the park to eat and get balloon hats.

Grandma Teresa came to help out
The kids got to see all their friends
The cars were a big hit!
It's easy to be number 1 when your the only racer :)
