Playing with playdoe

We tried playdoe before but it ended up being more like a meal than something to play with. It looks like they are getting the hang of it now.

Blueberry Picking

We love our fruit and there's nothing like picking it yourself. We spent a couple hours out in Temecula today picking and eating blueberries.

Logan didn't want to leave any behind, he really searched hard for all of them.
They had a tough time understanding that you put them in the basket and leave them there. There was allot of eating going on.
It was HOT in Temecula today, so we took some breaks in the shade to try and keep cool.

For Mother's day this year we all got together to get Teresa some updated family pictures. I'm so happy with how they turned out and love that we have some recent photo's of everyone!

Some of the cousins... Zeke, Peyton, Emma and Ellie
We took all of these at Central Park in Huntington Beach.
Logan was not happy with sitting, he really wanted to run around!
Chris, Kim and the girls.
Josh, Nicole and the boys.
The whole family!

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.
Logan, Dylan and Cole playing.

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.
