Our Memorial Day Weekend

This post is extremely late...we've been busy and time just keep slipping away.  I did, however, want to share pictures from our busy Memorial Day weekend.  We had a lot of fun with multiple friends in town.

Saturday brought a trip to the San Diego Zoo for the first time.  What a huge zoo!  We made it through probably less than a 1/4 of the exhibits.  We bought an annual pass, so luckily we can go back for more.

On Sunday we checked out the La Jolla Aquarium.  Madeline enjoyed playing with the outside water tables and boats and making up games about kitchens and cookies more than she enjoyed looking at the fish, but I guess that's what being a kid is all about.

Madeline and Rowan having a great time together.  The button on this display also activated the oven where the cookies were baking.--love the little imaginations at work!

Silly faces while playing at the aquarium-maybe she's just excited that the cookies are finished!

On Mon we had our first beach adventure.  Th girls had a great time playing in the sand.  Madeline braved the water with daddy, but it was a bit to cold for her this time.  She enjoyed digging in the sand and building sand castles.  Olivia had a great time trying to taste everything on the beach.  She was COVERED in sand by the time we left!

Tasting the sand

Mmmm, tasty beach rock

What do you mean I can't eat the sand?  Why would you take it from my mouth?

Happy as a clam in the sand

Madeline's new favorite game....races in the park.  She's fast, she usually wins! :)
