This morning turned out to be way more fun than I anticipated. We went to the nature center in Newport Beach with the Coastline class. The kids loved it. The first hour they went from one area to the next learning things. They got to pet a snake-me too but I wasn’t too thrilled. Also got to pet a frog. Justin didn’t want to pet the frog. Nicole got a splinter. We were eating and all of a sudden she says she can’t move her finger. So I investigate and she was such a brave girl while I got it out. I can’t remember ever getting a splinter out of their fingers. We went around all the paths after. The kids grabbed the maps and lead the way. Nicole was Pooh, Justin was Tigger, and I was lucky enough to be Christopher Robin. They pretended they were going through mazes and wanted to run through over and over. It was cute. We stuck around for a while so the kids could see the snakes again, color, and read books. We had a nice time. We got home and the kiddos played so well together. It was really nice. They swung their animals and played outside. I have been busy writing thank you notes. We walked over to the dance place for ballet class. Walking with the kiddos is an adventure in itself, we had fun. Justin and I had a great time together playing crazy 8’s and hanging out together. Justin is always a trooper hanging out while Nicole is in class, so we went to the pizza place. The kids played games and dad met us over there. The kids just came home and watched TV while dad helped me edit some pics. Then I had to head to a pre school meeting. It was enlightening discussing Kindergarten readiness. Now to relax.
