Balboa Beach

 
One day we went to Balboa and Newport beach. Brenda used to live there so she wanted to see her old stomping grounds. The weather cooperated and so we got some lunch and ate it on the beach. the waves were pretty big and the current strong so we tried to keep the kids at the waters edge. Brett and Analise loved it.

Disneyland

 
What's a California vacation without Disneyland. It was Stephanies birthday so we all headed out to Disneyland for the day. Analise loved the rides and wanted to keep going on them. We got 2 fer tickets and so we went to Disneyland one day and California Adventure another day. Analise wasn't too sure of the characters though. It wasn't really crowded so we all had a good time and the kids were pooped both days so it made bedtime easier on me.

Southern California Vacation Day 1

 
The first week of June the kids and I went with Aunt Brenda to visit Aunt Janice in Torrance. The first day we went to the Cabrillo Marine museum and Brett was in heaven. We started out going to the tide pools but it was high tide so this was the next best thing. They got to see the aquarium and touch the tide pools there. It was a much safer place for Analise. Cousin Gena and Stephanie went with us also.

Children's Museum Of Denver

 
On the first day of summer vacation we went to the Children's Museum Of Denver. We went with my friend Karen Meacham and her girls Anna and Cameryn. It had a lot of hands on exhibits that the kids loved. They had a nature one where the kids could see how the forrest animals lived. this is them in a big birds nest. Analise thought it was pretty cool.

Class of 2022

 
On may 20th Brett had his prechool graduation at Fox Run Park. He had a really good time. He sure loved his teachers Miss Debbie, Miss jo and Miss katie. They did it during the day so daddy could not make it but mommy and Analise were there. He even got a diploma. Wat to go Brett.

Saying Goodbye

 
Well our fun time at grandma and grandpa's had to come to an end and we had to head back to Colorado. Thank you mom and da for everything. Here is our traditional goodbye picture.

San Francisco

 
When we were at grandma B's for Brett's 5th birthday we went to San Francisco. the weather was reaaly nice and warm for a change. Brett loved walking around the fish markets. One of them eben let him hold a real cdrab and he was so excited. We also found a shop that had real starfish. He has been begging for one since they studied that in preschool. So we bought him one and boy was he stoked. He tells everyone now. Analise got a shell and she was pretty happy. Then we went to Pier 39 and they have resident sea lions that live there. The kids really enjoyed watching them. We also saw cable cars. The line was to long to ride them so we just got a picture by one. We also went to the Boudin bakery where they have awesome french bread. We can't get that here so it was a nice treat. It brought back a lot of memories from when I was young and growing up in the bay area.
