Great Park
We spoke to Auntie Buffi late last night. It was great hearing from her. We are considering meeting her in Vegas. Well this morning we played at home for a while. We made tunnels and played with blocks. The kids pushed the trains on the blocks. They were drawing and kept on saying look what I drew. They also drew with markers. What a mess, luckily it is all washable. Their work is on the fridge 🙂 We went to the Great Park Take Flight Day. It was hot! The kids did a few crafts. They glued bird seed and other seeds to paper. Then they made kites or should I say daddy made kites for the kids. They had a great time with the kites. It was great family fun. I guess a real kite is in their future. We will have to fly them on the greenbelt sometime. Justin was so sad when we had to get lunch and he couldn’t fly his kite any more. We had a picnic lunch. Then the kiddos got orange sherbert (orange balloon to mimic the big Orange Balloon). We had a good time but the park is spending all this money and it doesn’t look like there has been any progress on the park. We came home and had to get a few things done, so we let the kiddos watch Barney and Elmo’s World. After TV we just played with the kiddos. All I know is we played a lot as toys were all over the house. The kids seemed to be getting bored so we went and played on the greenbelt. We brought balls and frisbees out. Also we blew up the Thomas hippity hoppity ball the kids got from grandma/pa for Chanukkah. The kids are still a little small for it but Nicole found a way to jump. She had fun on it. Justin was busy throwing two frisbee’s. We played catch with the kiddos as well. They are throwing and catching so well these days. We came in and had dinner. Then got ready for our friends to come over to help celebrate Bret’s birthday. Victoria, Todd, and Penny came. It was nice just hanging out with friends, hard to talk though with the kids being so noisy. We just had dessert (birthday cheesecake) with our friends. After they left, it was time for a bath. The kids were sweaty, full of sun screen, and sticky. The kiddos were wild in the bath and continued even after bath. They played in the tent room for a bit and finally settled down. Of course they went to bed a little later than normal.
