December Happenings

So,
     Since we've all been released from school/ work we've been busy.

We went to Lancaster Blvd for a Christmas celebration.

KidsDecorated then ate cookies

We took our first trip to Universal Studios. It was small but nicely decorated and not too crowded. We received free passes from a former student of Teresa and they included a bunch of front of the line tickets so we really didn't have to wait in line all day which I think aided in the overall good impressions. We spent almost all of our time between Minion Land and Simpsons Land since there are only a few rides and those were the kids favorites.

We did manage to squeeze in the traditional studio tour. It was fun/ interesting.

Laughing at all those poor people waiting in lines.

War of the Worlds Set with plane crash.

Simpsons land was really neat.

Kids worn out and waiting for the hollywood special effects show. We saw a guy get lit on fire for 17 seconds.

The next day we drove down to Orange County for Christmas festivities. On Christmas Eve the kids decorated Gingerbread houses and the tree.

Then Christmas Morning came and the kids made out like bandits.

We had a great time at the grandparents house. We've got a lot more time off so hopefully more adventures are to come.

Aiden Trampoline Karate

There was a special request to put this on the blog. As you can see the kids are getting better at the trampoline and the weather is still nice here. Also you can see that I am a camera phone newb and forgot to turn it sideways...

The Giving of Thanks 2015

So,
    The Grovers came up for thanksgiving. We decided to cook and host this year which was a bit nerve racking but Teresa really pulled out all the stops and the dinner was fantastic. All day long the kids played with Cori, Grandma and Grandpa on the trampoline and in the house while T and I cooked. The kids had an absolute blast. The Grovers were pretty worn out I think... Eventually we ate and it was delicious.

Yesterday we woke up made some breakfast and the Grandparents split town so they could go home and relax. We proceeded to sit around and loaf.

Today we went to the Discovery Cube LA which is a childrens museum. The kids loved it. T and I finally purchased new phones so these are shot on those.

Last Few Weeks

So,
    Last week we took the family up to Mt Pinos. It's the tallest peak in Ventura county (8.1k-ish Ft). We did some geocaching to keep the kids interested and played in the snow. It was a lovely fall day well spent outside.

Eating snacks while walking. One way to keep em moving.

After that we ate delicious burgers at some local place. Then the week happened. Weeks are mostly similar. Then on Sunday it was Teresas birthday. We ate chocolate cream pie after much trampolining, going to the park, foods and gifts, and shoe shopping.

This week I work Monday night, the rest of the family has the whole week off and we are hosting Thanksgiving dinner for the Grovers. Should be fun.
