Today was a great day! This morning we were off early to the Balboa library. We saw a great show there, one world rhythm. The kids loved playing with all the dif’t instruments, shakers, drums, sticks, etc. Hopefully this is encouraging musical genes, ha. They also turned in their summer reading and got 3 prizes, stickers, tattoo, and rubber ball. We went in the bathroom and put on the tattoo’s. They don’t even need prizes since they love to be read to. Then we walked to the fun zone. Justin really wanted to go on the ferry, so on the ferry we went. We took it over then took it right back. Nikki wanted to do the jumpy trampoline thing, but we were unable to do it today. So off to the games we went. Of course the games were a ton of fun. They had enough tickets to get lollipops. Then we ate lunch by the jumpy thing so Nicole could watch it. We headed over to the beach. Oh Nicole walked all around with a bucket on her head pretending it was a hat. I heard people say she is starting a new trend but most just laughed. The kids played on the play structure on the beach for a bit. Then it was into bathing suits and in the ocean. The kids were jumping over the waves, running from them, laughing and laughing. I made them a big hole and they kept running to fill up buckets of water to put in the hole, AKA pool. We buried Nicole; she was pretending to be Ariel. Justin got in the hole and we buried him too. It was a great busy day. We came home and dad was working from home. I got the kiddos naked in the garage as they were full of sand. Then off to the shower. The kids played trains for a bit and then watched some TV. While they watched TV I made dinner. We had a nice dinner out on the patio. We took it easy tonight which isn’t surprising after our long day. Dad and J played cars while Nikki and I played in her room. We played with Heuy, Dewie, and Louie. We made a pool for them and acted out the animals. Tonight we read a lot of books and the kids were so tired. So funny after visiting Nikki I went to Justin…all of a sudden Bret says Nikki isn’t in her bed. She hid on him, it was so funny and she was really proud of herself.
