Lots and Lots of FUN!

Thursday-Riley's Apple Farm

On Thursday, we took a field trip with the Charter School to Riley's Apple Farm. It was a perfect day to be up in the mountains and out of the heat. We all had a great time!

Can I tell you how much I love these bright yellow shirts? You can spot your kid anywhere!

Friday- Maritime Museum of San Diego

We took a trip to the Maritime Museum in San Diego to celebrate the last day of our "Sailing the Seas" unit for school. The kids got to go on two tall ships, a submarine, visit a ship museum, explore on the beach, and go for a boat ride around San Diego Harbor. Three families went and all the dads made the trip which made extra special for the moms and the kids!

Captain Tanner and First Mate Hunter!

Tanner's favorite part was this mini ship inside one of the tall ships. The kids had fun playing "explorers".

Saturday-Birthday Party

We celebrated Ladd, Hunter, and Grandpa Hoyal's birthdays in the Hoyal's party backyard. It was fun to see friends and family that we haven't seen for awhile. Thanks to everyone who came and helped us celebrate these terrific boys!

Here is my mom's famous birthday cake creation!

The Three Birthday Boys!

I've never done a Pinata before. The act of kids pounded at something to get candy out of it is against my better instincts. But, when I found this fire truck pinata at half off, I couldn't resist! The kids loved it!

I prefer being behind the camera instead of in front of it, but my mom snatched this picture! I guess its good for the kids to have a few pictures of me around just in case...
