This morning I woke up at the crack of dawn and couldn’t go back to sleep. I came down to watch TV. On my way up, Nikki was coming down. She asked me to watch TV with her. I think I surprised her when I said yes. We just cuddled and we both loved it. Finally I took a shower then surprised Nikki with alone time. Her and I went to get bagels together. We ate bagels together and brought some home to daddy and Justin. It was really nice and I know she loved it as much as I did. Dad and Justin went out to get coffee together. Then we got ready for swim lesson. Finally I brought my camera and got some cute shots:
The kids did great at their lesson. Nikki loves showing off how well she can swim. Justin is a little more cautious but does go out far with his kick board. We hurried out of there, packed up a cooler, then headed to Duffy boats. Alan rented a boat for Roberta’s birthday. It was great fun. The entire family went. Justin and Nicole both loved driving the electric boat. Justin did have a smiley face the entire time he drove. Uncle Alan helped the kiddos drive. I can’t say enough of how much Justin loved driving. Grandpa got a little sick when Justin kept making the boat go in circles, with the help of Alan. We had lunch on the boat and just went around Newport Harbor. We hope to do it again as it was relaxing and fun.
After the boat we came home and relaxed a bit. Then we walked over to Heritage Park for a show with the Pacific Symphony. It was cute as they had projects for the kids. The kids made a tamborine, got to play with a lot of instruments, etc. We did bring Justin’s remote control boat to use in the lake so we went over to do that after we had a picnic dinner. Then we noticed the new park was finished so of course we had to check that out. We went to listen to more music and played a few games then we headed home. Nikki said she can’t wait to be a grown up so she can stay up as long as she wants. Both went to sleep pretty easily, they were tired.
