Our trip has been full of big moments and outings and also some small moments that have been great! John has class in the evening and some work to do throughout the day so we have been keeping busy.
John and Logan playing catch in the front yard.
The kids and I did art some art projects one afternoon. Usually its pretty hot and dry at the start of the day but we've had storms roll in over the mountains several afternoons. I was happy my mom and John's mom stocked us full of fun activities for when I'm home with the kids.
Morning cartoons - more channels than just PBS! :) What a treat!
Eden all set with her backpack (pack-pack), baby diaper bag, Carebear Harmony and her rain jacket! This girl doesn't travel light!
One of our favorites was making up our own Movie Theater Night. The kids got to choose a treat at the grocery store, a movie at redbox and we even found some special popcorn boxes. I made up tickets and the kids loved it all!
I think the kids would say "movie night" was one of the highlights of the trip. I think its so funny how something so simple is so special for kiddos. I was really happy we had a whole house to spend time in and enjoy some space.
Breakfast in the kitchen in the mornings.
I ventured out to a movie with the kids one late morning. We saw "Planes: Fire and Rescue" and it was so great!
The kids look so big!
Popcorn...I think it was lunch time, so we basically had movie treats for lunch. Its ok, its vacation. :)
Eden's first movie in the theater with us! She only lasted through the first few minutes and then she napped through the rest.
And the fountain was always a favorite! It was close so we could go most days.
Warming up on the warm concrete!
Eden was always my early riser...the boys slept in a little bit more and more each day.
After our big day at the zoo, Eden chose to spend her money on these two giraffes. She calls them "sisters". She was asleep before we left the parking lot!
Sometimes Eden would fall asleep and I could transfer her to her bed...so good to get a little nap once in a while!
This is a blurry picture of John's class one night when we stopped by to meet his advisor and professor and the folks in the office at Fuller Semiary. They honored John that night for his upcoming graduation in Sept.
And back on the road going home. What a trip. The kids already want to go back next year!
