Last minute things sometimes end up being the best. This morning I took the kids to an animal show at the Balboa library. They saw a baby alligator, hedgehog, hissing cockroach, snake, millipedes, and a honey bear from the rain forest. It was a great show and really cool to see some of these animals up close. After we read lots of books then went on an adventure. We walked to the fun zone. Of course the kids wanted to play some games, watch the trampoline thing, pet dogs, look at boats, play in sand, etc. We ended up grabbing some pizza for lunch. So you would think that was enough of an adventure but we decided to head to the beach. We weren’t prepared to be at the beach (no towels/suits, etc) but the kids still had fun playing on the play structure and climbing all these play things. I think they just loved hanging out down there and looking around, so much going on down in Newport. We came home and the kids seemed a little tired, so they watched some TV. We went out front and washed my car. Wait I washed my car…Justin played with the hose…and Nikki did play doh in the garage. Justin got into the moon sand and play doh-what a mess but it was good that it was in the garage. The kids decided to pretend they were camping. Check out this camp ground:
umbrellas, cones, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, bags, bubbles, etc. They were having a blast. Dad and I actually came into make dinner and we let them play out there. After dinner the kids played more outside, I did some gardening, then dad and the kids played soccer. Now to unwind and enjoy a quiet house.
