Weekend Getaway

DSC_0576This weekend we escaped to Carlsbad to relax and go to Legoland before school starts.  We played at the beach in the morning and then swam at the pool all afternoon.  On Saturday we even ate our dinner by the pool.  The resort had all kinds of fun stuff for the kids so we mainly stayed on the grounds.  We brought our clubs so we could putt at the greens there.  They even had a game room which we hung out at night.  It was really beautiful and very relaxing!  The kids had so much fun they didn’t want to leave. DSC_0501 At the Carlsbad State Beach.DSC_0520 DSC_0502 DSC_0514 DSC_0585The Moon Light Beach.  It was a bit cool in the morning so we just collected shells and rocks.  We will definitely be going back to this beach.DSC_0596 We couldn’t get enough of the pool!DSC_0607 DSC_0599 DSC_0595 Andrew started going under the water all by himself.  At first he held onto the wall and by mid-afternoon he was going under everywhere.  The kids would count to three and go under together.  Piper was also diving down to find a rock.  We have such water-bugs!DSC_0541 Relaxing with Baby-dollDSC_0537 The mini-pool perfect size for Andrew.DSC_0530 DSC_0553 After dinner running around the propertyDSC_0564 DSC_0616 The putting greens.  Piper cracks us up in this photo.DSC_0629 DSC_0632 DSC_0640DSC_0571

Last Evening at the Huntington this Summer

We enjoyed the last evening event at the Huntington for the summer.  Although we know this means Fall will be here very shortly.  We shared yummy food and good conversation with our friends we meet there regularly.  Then we walked the grounds before the music started.  Tonight we had the place to ourselves.  It was wonderful!!DSC_0498 The Huntington’s house of residence in the background when lived there.DSC_0488 DSC_0491 All this wide open space all to ourselves!DSC_0487The Turtle Pond.  A favorite spot of ours.

Weekend Stuff

It was another busy weekend for us.  Friday we took Kitty to the vet because she has a bad case of the fleas.  The kids behaved really well there.  Then Saturday we went to the putting green in Arcadia.  Andrew just can’t get enough.  We had a sitter come Saturday night so we could get out on a date.  It’s been a long time!  Everyone enjoyed their evening.IMG_3026 IMG_3025 IMG_3021 Waiting to see the doctor IMG_3018 snuggling with kitty before her appointmentIMG_3022Yes!  The Ice-Cream Truck was here again!

Farmers Market

We took the train down to South Pasadena to meet our daddy at the Farmer’s Market.  After walking around we all took the train back home.  It was a fun evening event.DSC_0480
