So many fun things to share!

So you know that feeling when you have been at an amusement park all day and you just feel super drained from the walking and the sun and everything else. I feel that way every day! But it's good. It's so much fun. I feel so much closer to my kids and I feel like I can do most anything on my own (although I LOVE and prefer it when P is there and so do the kids!) It's funny how when you take your kids to the park and you don't have any friends to stand with and talk to you play so much more with them there! That has been really good for me because I am normally not the best at "playing" with them. So I take my camera everywhere we go and usually snap a few pictures every day and I have so many fun ones to share so here you go! At the end of these five weeks I am going to make a tally of how many things we did and how many times. I think you'll be a little shocked! i already am and we still have a week and a half to go.

So this is at the Wild Animal Park which was fun, although it's a lot of walking for not a ton of animals. G loves fruit leather, well we all do, and here he is just being goofy with his, although he does eat them like this. It's kinda a mess but oh well.
This is on the animal safari tram which I thought I should document that I actually was at all these places since I'm in none of the pictures!
I took the kids to Sea World again while P was at work and we had so much fun. This is the new show, Blue Horizons, and it was amazing! There were bunches of dolphins and acrobats and birds and G attention was captured and held the whole time which is hard to do. Since it was just me there and I was holding G I don't have any pictures of the show but here is the scenery and cute excited H.
We had some friends come into town and we got to do some fun things with them and eat at some amazing places. This is H's friend and although she is only 2 1/2 they got along so well and had so much fun together. This is also the Wild Animal Park.
So the Childrens Museum here is animal themed and here is the cutest little squid you ever did see! i think that costume is made from duct tape or some sort of purple tape. pretty cool, huh?
Ok, so we had to wait for a package the other day so we occupied our time with a little water play. This little area is our "patio". It is an closed in area that the kids can play in. So we filled up some buckets and put swimsuits on and they went crazy. It was so fun for them .
Back at the Wild Animal Park with H and a giraffe.
So at the zoo they have a helicopter the kids can sit in and it makes G's day every time. He LOVES planes (and trains and trucks) and gets so excited. He doesn't look excited because he is just soaking in the moment!
Ok, so ever since G got tubes in his ears he is sensitive to sounds but he is also a little scared of certain sounds too. This cave was making animal sounds which G didn't like. So he covers his ears all the time which is so funny. He didn't do it one time before he got tubes so it reminds us that he can actually hear stuff now! Poor little guy!


So that's all I have time for today. Pics of the beach to come!

How fun!!! Looks like you are staying busy and making lots of fun memories. I tell my boys stories about these places and we look at picts. on the internet but it will be a looong time before it becomes a reality. They know they won't actually go to these places for a long time but when they do it's going to be AWESOME! Can't wait. :)
What a cool place to be for the summer and cool that you actually have money to take them!!

So cute Suzanne, truly i'm impressed with all you take them to do alone. H and you have the exact same smile, and G is looking so old all the sudden!
