medieval times
After Keira's party today, Nathan got to have a special afternoon with Colleen, Mark, and Alex. They took him to Medieval Times. He LOVED it. Colleen just sent me this photo. :)
observatory
The kids called this the "Absorb a Terry." I could not get them to say it right! I have not been here in a long time. Since a Sunshine field trip when I was a camp counselor I think. I forgot how pretty it is up there and it's one of the last good free things in LA. We watched a movie in the Planetarium. That was a big hit. It shows the movie on the dome-shaped ceiling and you lean back to watch. Megan and Grace especially loved it because they just finished learning about the solar system at school. I learned more things, too. Like, did you know the Antarctic Ocean is now called the Southern Ocean? I can't keep up. view of the city Doesn't he look happy? He didn't stay happy so enjoy that shot. Here's how he really felt! Megan was striking poses at this statue and a tourist took pictures of her! I am sorry, it is so rude to take a picture of someone else's kid without asking first!

my new scrapbooking buddy
Bambi and I planned to scrapbook all day today. Kris called early this morning to say she forgot about Corey's minimum day and asked if I could pick him up from school. So, lucky Corey got to scrapbook with us after lunch! He was just so thrilled to be there (insert sarcastic tone here). Megan had Girl Scout "Thinking Day" tonight. They learned about different countries and tried new foods. It was a drop off event so I didn't get to stay. This is the lovely photo I got of her as she was leaving. :)
4th in 4th and 5th in 5th
Jamir tagged me to post the 4th image in my 4th folder and my 5th image in the 5th folder on this computer. I have folders everywhere so I just used the ones from my external drive where my family photos are stored. Weird how they both ended up being from the zoo. This is the 4th in the 4th - Santa Barbara zoo with Tiffany. My kids in one of their many sets of coordinating outfits. LA zoo with Kylie on Logan's 2nd birthday. Weird how Dawn and I were JUST talking about these photos the other day. The kids are looking at a ladybug.
