Backlog of pictures

I have some new pictures posted. Sure it's a few months late. I've been busy. You keep 3 kids at home all summer and see how much you get done.

Kael's Field Trip - Marine Mammal Center
This was the last big field trip for Kael's class. It took some working and rearranging (grandma took a day off from work) but I finally managed to chaperon one. Kael was so happy. Armed with a couple of ziplock gallon sized barf bags, I was ready to go. Luckily I didn't need it. I did come close on the trip home though as Grace (the other Mom Chaperon) and I spent the entire 40 minutes texting. Sitting on that school bus, wishing for a more supportive bra, brought back some memories. Well... not so much memories of a more supportive bra but certainly of the bouncing around part.

June 20 - Wild Animal Park
We met some cousins at the Wild Animal Park. The weather report stated that it would be cool. Well, it lied. It was HOT. So the kids cooled down at the little water splash park they have in the Heart of Africa. Good news: the kids got to cool down. Bad news: we didn't bring extra clothes. Why - you ask? Well because the weather report said it was going to be cool.


July 19 - Tanaka Farm Watermelon Tour
This is a local farm in Irvine that provides tours of their operations. They stop along various points of the farm and provide farm fresh (literally pulled from the ground) produce for us to eat. The kids had a great time and they sampled a variety of veggies. Kael discovered that he liked raw corn and has been asking to eat it that way. Whether or not corn from the grocery store will taste as good as fresh corn from the farm remains to be seen.

Cousin Connor's Birthday Party
Connor turned 2 and we had a great time at his party. His community has an uber-fun splash park just down the street. Wish we lived closer.

Kael getting dumped on.

I don't know about this...
Deciding if he should go in or not...

Swiped Malia's bucket and decided to test out the waters.

He was fixated on these cannons and would get so mad whenever someone fired water at him. Which was like shooting a sitting duck as he tried to collect water in his bucket from said cannons.
