Summer 2010

We have had a great summer! Ethan will already be starting school next week so its good we did as much as we did:

In early June, we went to Disneyland. This time we stayed at the Paradise Pier Hotel which is a Disney hotel on the Disneyland property. The hotel was a short walk to Disneyland and was decorated with the Disney theme throughout. Kids loved it!







We also had a neighborhood block party which I helped organize for the six homes on our little block. We had a great time and plan to do it each year! Each family brought some food and we all invited a few friends. John even bbq'd some oysters which were a treat!







We also landscaped our backyard and I will post before and after pictures later...

Ethan lost his first two teeth, I will post the before and after pictures later... He lost one of his teeth but had one which he was able to put under his pillow for the tooth fairy. The tooth fairy came that night, took the tooth and left Ethan $4 bucks!! Ethan was so excited!!!
We went to Legoland with Jaekob and Erisijah (John's neice and newphew visiting from Virginia) in July. We drove to Carlbad on Friday and hung out at the beach and pool on Friday evening. Saturday, we hung out at Legoland all day long! And on Sunday, we drove back to home..it was a long drive but worth it.















Another really fun thing we did this summer was take the kids to see the Wiggles. They are an Australian band who dance and sing to toddlers and preschoolers. The kids have been watching them on tv since they were babies so they were insisted that when they came to our area for a concert, we would have to go! So we did...and got middle section of the 5th row which made it so much more fun. The kids danced and sang and were so excited to be there. John and I even enjoyed the good 'ole fashion dancin and singin, which was a nice surprise!
