A Day at Disneyland

Today we snuck away to Disney for the day.  The weather didn’t really cooperate and stayed cool and gloomy the whole time.  We did luck out and got to see Daisy and Donald.  We’ve never had the chance to take photos with them before.  Daisy was so much fun and  danced with Piper.  Andrew kept his distance not wanting to get too close.  The highlight of the day was going to the Disney Jr. Show where the kids saw all their favorite characters.  Jake and the Neverland Pirates is on the daily rotation right now.  Who by the way we got to wave to as he walked by outside of the theater.  How fortunate we are to live so close to Disney!DSC_0153 Behind Daisy is Main Street and the Castle.DSC_0156 DSC_0127 DSC_0129DSC_0131 DSC_0133Small WorldDSC_0162 This is a photo from California Adventure.  That is a backdrop of blue sky. DSC_0161 DSC_0144  DSC_0138

Weekend of Trains and Parks

This weekend we took the Light Rail Train to South Pasadena where the kids got ice-cream.  We also stopped off at a used book store and loaded up on some good finds for Andrew.  It was alot of fun.  Andrew had the best time and has been asking to go back on the train ever since.  I think we started something…IMG_1822 IMG_1827 waiting for their ice-creamIMG_1829 IMG_1832 IMG_1834

Grandma!

This week we sadly said good-bye to Grandma.  It was so nice having her here for a visit.  Piper enjoyed baking lots of goodies with her along with reading, coloring and doing homework together.  Andrew just loved it all!  We can’t wait to be together again.DSC_0088

A Cool Day at the Beach

We took a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu.  Unfortunately the sun was not cooperating today and it was overcast the whole time.  The kids had fun playing at Will Roger’s Beach even though it was chilly.  Then we warmed up with hot bowls of clam chowder.DSC_0100 IMG_1812 DSCN0432  DSC_0112DSC_0095
