For Jeremy's valentines present, I had secretly booked a hotel and arranged for the two of us to stay an extra day at Disneyland, after our day with my family. We didn't end up going into the park again, but instead did shopping in Downtown Disney and ate at (pictured here) the Rainforest Cafe.
Cousins Tyler and Hayley horsing around on the carousel.
Zack was so cool while waiting in line for Pirates.
Yup, that's actually Grandpa sitting in a teacup with three little girls!
Zack meets Mickey for the first time! (Hayley was on a ride with her cousins)
The funny thing about this picture is that none of us know while we are taking this that Jeremy is wearing an eye patch!
So these pictures are in order from last to first, but one of the fun things we did in San Diego was geocaching with our cousins. It is a fun "sport" where you use coordinates from a GPS to find "caches" or hidden treasures that others have hidden. This is a cache that we found above Ginny's house, on a trail that she didn't even know about. It took us awhile, but we finally found the cache. The kids found lots of great loot in it, and had fun hiding it again for the next person.
On our recent trip to California Grandpa Paul showed Zack his truck. To which upon seeing it Zack exclaimed, "drive?!?"
Clara got to take the puppy for her show and tell recently. The puppy was a huge hit! She even sat at Clara's desk. (And gave out kisses)
Clara saved up "points" for doing chores around the house. She earned a trip to a local pottery studio where you get to pick out pottery and glaze them. She and mom had a great time!
Another pic of Clara's show and tell....
Here's some picks of own new pup Phoebe. We got her 1-31 and she is just 6 weeks old. I only have pics of her sleeping because she is either playing and blurry in pictures or totally zonked out. The kids like to say that her batteries run out when she konks out without much warning after playing. She is very sweet and I think that she will be a good fit for our family.
