More Sun and More Fun

Although the rain has now returned, we had some amazingly warm weather here in California over the past few weeks. Our family took much advantage of the great outdoors. Last weekend, we spent a beautiful day having a picnic and enjoying all the activities at the neighborhood Fairytale Town; a children's play park and outdoor children’s museum that brings fairy tales and nursery rhymes to life! Here, all the kids take a ride on green turtle in Mr. McGregor's Garden.

Then, off to Alice's rabbit hole slide!

I think Will saw the Cheshire Cat on his way down...Will loves to slide!

He also loves cheese, both the kind you eat and climbing holes on the "Cheese Stands Alone."

Next, we were off to the Farmer Brown's red barn with goats, chickens, cows, donkey and a riding tractor. Natalie takes a turn plowing the field to plant some spuds.

Amanda was up next.

Here is a great photo of Amanda getting a drink of water from the Hippo!

After a a very busy and active morning, we all sat down for a quick break, to grab a bite to eat and to watch the very pesky squirrels running about. More about them later...

Say cheese!

The kids are enjoying some string cheese and some yogurt covered star cookies. If you listen closely to the picture, you can hear Amanda Say, "Mommy, that squirrel went into our backpack and took a cookie!"

Here is the little guy showing off his stolen goods. Good thing that only the camera lens allows us to get this close so we had proof. Thief!

Will checks out the squirrel now sitting in his stroller seat.

Hey Natalie, Amanda, Dad and Mom, check out this flower thing!

Natalie gives a demonstration to the crew as how a water fountain works.

And they all lived happily ever after!
