Memorial Day

Like a few of our friends (Andersons and Willards) we visited the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival over the holiday weekend.

We had a nice time and I was thrilled to have a yummy strawberry treat.

The highlight was going swimming at Grandma's, especially now that our little green crocodile can swim around the kiddie pool with us.

I love the look on his face while he is trying to keep the water out of his mouth.

Field Trip to the Fire Station

What a great opportunity to visit our friendly neighborhood firefighters. We went with our PCC Parent Ed class and had a good time with our friends Stephen and Violet and Firefighter Mike.

The little boys didn't want to stand still so entertained us all by running circles around Firefighter Mike.

The front of the truck looks huge behind this little boy.

How many children can fit in a firefighters lounge chair?

Another Free and Hot Day

Today was hot again and thanks to our friends' advance planning for extra tickets, we were able to go to the Huntington Botanical Gardens. It was a special day for me because it was our first big stroller-free outing. The past few times we have gone out the stroller just got in the way. We packed light and, though I did carry the little one for a few minutes, he was a tough guy and we both loved the freedom.

"Look! A little stream." Too bad we didn't have some popsicle sticks.

We heard more of these than we saw, but this one stuck his head out in the sunlight just long enough.

Thanks for a fun day April and Adam!
