Santa Monica Pier

Santa Monica Pier Friday Feb. 24th
Teresa had an appointment, so we all took the day off

Nathan told me a few weeks ago that he really wanted to
ride a Ferris Wheel. He was SO excited! And continued to be excited
every time we went around again

The pier from the Ferris Wheel

Bang! Bang!

Pew! Pew! We had fun shooting things

Nothing like a little Skee Ball

Smooch!

Kiss-Kiss!

They have a quaint little aquarium there ($3 donation)

little Bell Jelly

Lots of things to touch

Lost and Found?

Nope, not found, just lost

Nathan lost his first tooth this morning. He was SO excited! It's been loose for almost 3 months.

Vacation for 2!

Jonathan and I took a trip to Catalina over his birthday weekend. A much needed getaway. 3 days and 2 nights away from everything.

The Catalina Express. The ride over was SO calm.

We heard a pipe organist and watched a movie here Friday night.

My pink bike. It was electric, which was awesome.
Especially going up those hills.

The town is very quaint. Not very many cars.
Lots of golf carts.

We did the glass bottom boat Sunday before we headed back to Long Beach.

We ended our weekend with a delicious meal at Bubba Gumps and a really nice walk along Rainbow Harbor. The lights reflecting on the water was so relaxing.

A HUGE thank you to my parents for watch the kids. They had a good time!

Holiday Weekend Pictures

We had a nice holiday weekend. We spent a lot of time outdoors enjoying the nice weather, got crafty, and had some yummy food.

After searching the river bed for rocks, we painted them

Monday we went to Creation Craze where you can
paint pottery.  After this was lunch, frozen yogurt and more
time enjoying the weather

Enjoying the nice weather

 ...with cousins!

Jog-a-Kong

Nathan was so excited for his school Jog-a-Kong(as he says). They practiced the days before and he was sure to wear his workout pants and running shoes.

Be mine!

After conversation heart Bingo - he's shoveling them into his pocket
(that reminds me, I should check to see if they are still there before we wash)

Each kid passed out all their valentines

The cute Valentine bags

Yummy!

Ooo!

Silly Boy!
