My Dad came out to stay with us for a few
days, and Desmond and him got along just fine. |
|
|
|
The girls really enjoyed Nonno's visit as
well. My mom will be coming out in a few weeks, and we're looking
forward to her visit. |

Mia is demonstrating the wonders of static
electricity. To see a video of Mia's 3-bday,

The girls are painting tiger stripes on
themselves, but with dry-erase markers. You'd think dry-erase
markers would be easy to wipe off of your skin, but no. It stains
the skin and takes forever to go away. |

There's nothing like warm laundry. |

|
Amelie hurt her leg, so she made a
tourniquet out of a leaf and some tape. |
|
|
|
If only they got along this well all the
time! Actually, they're fantastic sisters, and Amelie is very
protective of Mia. |
|
|
|
Here I am getting some love as well. |

We did a home-school trip to the San Diego
Wild Animal Park in San Diego. Just like we did when we went to Sea
World, we rented a hotel room down in San Diego close to the park.
This time we stayed at a Doubletree Hotel. Did you know they give
you a chocolate-chip cookie when you check in, all warm and gooey?
Well, even though we're gluten-free, come on, you can't say no to
that. We felt totally ill afterwards, but I think it was worth it. |

|
|
Flamingoes are very noisy. That's about
what I learned at the Wild Animal Park. |
|
|
|
Amelie and Mia had fun at the park, but I
think Sea World had more stuff to do, with the shows and all. |
|
|
|
The brass rhinoceros was fun to climb on,
and they also had a carousel with different animals you could ride.
|
|
|
|
The highlight of the trip was stopping by
at Queen Califia's Magic
Circle Garden, right by the Wild Animal Park. It was amazing,
and I encourage everybody to check it out when they're in the area. |
|
|
|
They had a bunch of totems and a giant
snake around the outside. It was amazing. |
|
|
|
So many places to explore. |
|
|
|
There's also a golden egg in the middle. |
|

|
Desmond just keeps getting bigger, and to
see just how big, check out the video of Desmond saying "dog" at
only 2-months old! Don't believe us,
check it out! And until
next month, take care! |
