Universal Studios

We started our day at Universal Studios watching the "Waterworld" show... It was an action packed show which of course any guy likes... So, of course Joe and Isaac really loved it! On our adventure to Universal Studios Isaac and Charlie met one of Charlie's favorite character's "Curious George"! Afterward's we went on the Universal backstage tour which let you see how the movies were made and we could see some of the stage lots... Jaws was the best part when he came out of the water..... Good times!! Afterward's It took some persuading to get Charlie to stand by Joe and the shark for a picture! Later we headed down to the lower lot of the park and Joe and Isaac rode "The Mummy" and they both agreed it was a pretty intense ride! Thankful for the Good times together! Love the memories we are sharing with our boys....

San Diego, Zoo

We weren't quite sure what to expect when we spent the day at the San Diego Zoo, but have to say, we all were pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed seeing the animals. We loved seeing the Panda's! Couldn't believe they could actually sleep comfortably in the tree.. This panda was fast asleep and didn't seem to be bothered by all the people from the line who were talking and taking pictures... Amazing! Loved this snap shot of Joe and our boys by the Alligator section of the park... One of Joe's favorites to visit at the Zoo was the enormous elephants! Isaac and Charlie loved crawling all over the plastic Elephants.. Great relaxing day at the Zoo!

SeaWorld

Exploring SeaWorld with our boys was such a hoot... We had a great time watching them explore the place with great excitement! "Shamu" was the family highlight of the day of course... Isaac & Charlie were grinning from ear to ear watching the whales in action... oh, and of course eating there cinnamon popcorn! They loved riding the rides together and even met the "Famous" Polar bear!

Cedar Lanes

One of our FAVORITE bowling HOT spots is CEDAR Lanes.... Laid back family FRIENDLY enviorment and our BOYS love there BURGERS, FRIES & Old Fashioned SNACK bar... This place brings GOOD TIMES to our family every time we go. With Charlie's technique of RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN and drop the ball.. To Isaac's Side WhIneDERS... To Joe's HURDLING the ball HALFWAY down the lane and SMASHING the balls... To my very LAID back approach... (Aim for the center, let it LOOSE and let's just SEE what happens)... For our family BOWLING brings to us an evening of one HILARIOUS move after another.

Sweet Tooth

It's AMAZING how easy it is to please our SWEET Charlie. You'd a THOUGHT I gave him the WORLD when I let him pick the FLAVOR of his BIRTHDAY cake and told him he could HELP me make it.... Oh and the PURE delight that swept across his face when I mentioned the SPRINKLES!!! Charlie known for his SWEET TOOTH throughly ENJOYED cleaning out the BOTTOM of the Bowl....

Road Rash

So, last Saturday were clean clean cleaning out the GARAGE... What a PARTY... (FREE Labor welcome) For the first bit the kids were happily helping... But as we got into it a bit Charlie got a little BORED to say the least. So of course as happy curious four year old's are he decided to have a little fun and started running across to the neighbors house and back to see how FAST he could go... Foot attire : FLIP FLOPS! He seemed quite content running back and forth HAPPY as the day and then all the sudden we hear this HORRIFIC Scream... HEART DROPS.... Run over get him, Curl him in my arms and headed for the freezer and bandages.... Luckily to say, one fat lip later and a few scratches plus lots of loves from mom he was back to playing and running like nothing happened at all..... Have to say it pulled on the HEART strings to see him banged up....
