Maya's first day of school.
She's one of the big girls this year at pre-school!
Maya wanted to try on these shoes today, shopping around
while waiting for Costco to open. She wanted me to buy them, she also wanted me to buy these hot pink sunglasses. I see a theme here...
So on the way home to Maui, we brought a souvenir with us- her name is Tutu!
So grateful that Mom could come back with us-
we are still on break from school and I had some serious work to do!
But we tried to keep her a little entertained.
Here's our walk at Ironwood.
Panorama at Ironwood Hike
Thanks mom for watching the kids so I could go run away with the circus!
We had a work outing and it started with a little trapeze.
Here's my last go. I got to go for the catch after a few trial runs. It was so scary, pure adrenaline, but so much fun! I seriously considered running away with the circus:)
Happy Birthday Papa!
We got to celebrate Papa's birthday!
We met up with Erik's high school friends and had a fun night at Rick's house.
Then down to Carlsbad to visit Cole & Stella (and Auntie Lo & Uncle Vere too)
The girls
Make your own pizza night- thanks Auntie Lo!
It's fun to just eat the cheese:)
Then make your own sundaes- they were in heaven!
Maya's first waterslide at Legoland
We spent the 4th of July at Legoland with Cole & Stella and
then Bobby & Chelsey met up with us!
It was such a lifesaver to have Bobby & Chelsey there,
it's hard to pull a 9 hour amusement park day on your own.
So thankful for such awesome cousins!
The 4th of July at Legoland with Bobby & Chelsey!
Go team!
I didn't get a ton of photos at Legoland, we were so busy doing.
OK, these are a little out of order- this was our last day in California.
The kids of 10995 Roebling- all those future Bruins in one jacuzzi!
So fun meeting up with the UCLA girls,
too bad I couldn't drink very many mimosas,
must have been the almost 3 bottles of wine Lauren & I drank the night before.
Remind me again why I thought that was a good idea?
Oh this is from Rainforest Cafe- they girls were dying for these balloon hat things.
The Dragon ride from Legoland.
I had to buy this one- it's classic.
Look at Maya's face, she was laughing the whole way.
This is too tame for Kalia, she did Space Mountain...
The girls wanted "Stella Hair"
Yes, Lo she is now a fashion icon.
Super fun stay with the cousins.
Best part, Stella is my friend now:)
She no longer cries when she sees me!
Kalia with her "uncle greg" glasses on!
On game night, Allie put together all of these glasses with tape holding them together, just like Greg's glasses from 2 years ago. During his turn at Balderdash, we all put them on. We all nearly went blind wearing them while we were waiting for him to realize what was going on. It was a long time!
Everyone watching Greg- with their glasses.
He still doesn't notice them!
Alana & Uncle Erik
Look there's a deer!
Alana giving rides down the river.
Kalia gets a ride too!
Fishing on Lake Sabrina is serious business!
Kalia reeling in her first fish!
Immediately after Maya caught her first fish too (but my camera died), just in time too, since Papa promised her she would catch one soon! I think Papa might be fish psychic.
This looks like a serious conversation.
Papa takes the girls horseback riding!
Meeting Amy & Margarita
Maya got up on the horse and immediately put her game face on, she was so serious!
Kalia is enjoying this!
We thought that we were going to sign them up for a short walk around, being led on foot by someone. But it turned out they were signed up for a 30 minute trail ride- by themselves! Of course, we had to follow along with them up and down the trail, we're not overprotective or anything. But they were perfectly fine and happy and confident on their ride!
