I woke up a little early this morning for some odd reason. I woke up with a Disney hang over, is that possible? HA! We were out early for our Tanaka Farms field trip. The kids had a great time. The great time more so was had by seeing and playing with their friends. They were all holding hands and running around. Nikki and her friend Ella were tied at the hip, it was so cute. In a way it makes me so sad as friends come and go depending what part of life we are in. Her friend lives in Costa Mesa so they may not see each other much after pre school but I guess thats what happens. First we got on the wagon and went to the petting zoo. Love the look on Justin’s face while petting the baby goat. Then we went on a wagon ride around the farm and did the corn maze. Somehow I lost my kids in the corn maze. They were way ahead of me but I knew they were with their friends so they were safe. We picked some veggies, radishes, carrots, onions, and green beans. Then the kids got to pick out a pumpkin each. Nikki really wanted to pick one of the vine but most were already off the vine. The ones on the vine were in sad shape. Justin ran all over looking for the perfect green pumpkin and we found it! I think we were the only one that left there with a green pumpkin but that is Justin’s favorite color and it is a great pumpkin. He did drop it a few times on the way out. When we got home we had lunch then we just played a bit. I gave the kiddos a bath-they were well over due. There just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day. Then we were off to soccer for Nikki. Nikki did so great at soccer. She made lots of goals today, so great. She even started to pass to her friends. It was so frustrating for me to watch as Nikki would get the ball and bring it all the way to the goal then give it to a friend and the ball would get stolen….but she had to share the ball. She couldn’t make all the goals. We brought Justin’s scooter, so he had a great time scootering around. The kids just wanted to play and have fun so we headed over to the play structure. I remember being at this park when the kiddos were small and it was so hard to watch them, so much easier now. It is still a huge play area though. Nikki brought a doll with her and wanted to push it on the swings and have it go down the slides. Justin rode his scooter through the entire play structure. He also made a friend there. It is so sad though as Justin had to go potty and by the time we got back his friend left the park. I hope we see him again at that park as Justin really took a liking to him. We got home and had a later than usual dinner. The kids played and fought. I was a bit frustrated as I wanted some computer time but somehow that couldn’t happen, so I just gave up. I played with the kiddos, got them ready for bed, and decided to read a ton of books. I almost put myself to sleep reading books. Now to catch up on the computer and TV time.
Here are pics from our day:
