Sea World Field Trip

Today was Ash's Sea World field trip! I was lucky enough to go with her and they assigned me one other girl as well. We had a lot of fun. I was most definitely exhausted, but they had a blast and that's what counts. Ash and I stayed after they left and did the things we weren't supposed to on the field trip as they weren't "educational". She went nuts for the Pets Rule show and the Atlantis ride; which she claimed was "better than the log ride and Space Mountain!!!" We even rode it twice because there was no lines and she was so excited. I couldn't get her to take the front car with me, but maybe next time:) Here's some pics. Oh and Brielle had a fun day with her dad playing all kinds of games she made up. One even had lifesavers and you had to turn into a star when you got caught or something:) How sweet.

I know I really should get some photoshop software...I'm sure this could be a better picture, but I still like it.

This was a baby kangaroo the kids got to pet.

Pics from the Weekend

We had a great weekend. The community sponsored a movie on the lawn night and we had fun watching "Marmaduke". The girls really enjoyed it, except for Brielle who only enjoyed half of it and the back of her eyelids the other half:) Then Hoss's brother came for the day on Memorial Day and boy did the girls enjoy their cousins. We older ones got through an entire game of Phase 10 and yes, before they came Hoss and I did finish the puzzle:) Also my friend from Okinawa was down in San Diego for the weekend and I was able to see her for a bit. It was so nice. So below are some pics from the weekend and one from Friday.

How great is this? Ash brought it home from school and I just thought it was too cute. The kindergarten writing with the exclamation points:) For those who are too far removed from kindergarten it says: Penguins are great!! divers.

Here they are doing a craft at the movie night. Not sure about Ash's face, but with two kids I never seem to get a good picture of both together.

Here we are waiting for the sun to go down so they can start the movie. It was really sweet as we were waiting Ash kept watching the sky (remember they are usually in bed by 7:00 so they aren't outside when it's dark very much) and then I heard her start whispering "star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might. Have the wish I wish tonight"

Her's the finished craft. Ash used so much glue that hers slid apart before we made it home and she canned it, but Bri's is still on the refrigerator.
