Happy Father's Day

We hit the Studio City Farmer's Market again - this time we braved the petting zoo

and Garrett went on the slide with dad

and zoomed all over the bounce house (note the snazzy wristbands and headband Brady and daddy bought for Garrett while mommy was with him in the petting zoo). 

Of course, we had to do another pony ride.

Brady had fun too.  Who knew parking meters could be so entertaining??!!

Next time maybe we'll even buy some fruit and veggies! (if we make it past the kids' area).  Maybe we'll have to park and enter on the other side next time.  Hmmmm. . .

We also went to a B-Day celebration in the afternoon for Garrett's friend Nico.  I think Brady had a blast too - here he is his first time driving a big boy car.  Garrett played A LOT in the firetruck, but ran around and played with Nico, Bodhi, Audrey, Nola, and Connor too.

The Many Sides of Garrett

WHPS Rm 1 had their year end party at Under The Sea - a super cheesy indoor play place.  The kids LOVED it.

The best part (in my humble opinion) . . .

Garrett as a pirate . . .

And even better - Garrett as a mermaid . . .

I don't get out much, so this offered me some entertainment and a good laugh.

Studio City Farmer's Market

So fun.  Why have we not been here before??!!  Our bad.

Garrett rode on a train around the neighborhood, we bought some yummy breads, etc., Brady went crazy over a balloon, Garrett went on the swings and rode a pony, and mom and dad sampled some yummy burgers.  The sign on their food truck cracked us up (and the Summer Special was extra yummy).

Next time - petting zoo, bouncer, and slide . . . .

Brady Kai's Glamour Pix

We went to Sears last week for our monthly/bi-monthly photos.  Here are a few. 

Brady is changing so fast! 

His skin is really bad this week though, so it makes me sad to see his photos with his face so clear - he is so itchy and red tonight.

Laguna Beach Madness

We did another local family vacation - much, much easier at this stage than a trip far away that entails flying and time zone changes, etc.

We went to the Laguna Cliffs Resort overlooking the Dana Point Harbor.  We had never seen the hotel before, but it turned out to be perfect - very peaceful, quiet (except for movie night at the local park), and VERY kid friendly.  There was a park right next door where there was tons of space for Garrett to run around - and a really clean, super cool playground.  The park attracted lots of visitors - tons of people working out and lots of early morning yoga classes.

The first day was a little rough - Garrett was in a bit of a mood, so we didn't do a whole heck of a lot - we walked (A LONG WAY THERE) to Dana Point Harbor and had lunch at the Harbor Grill.  The walk back was A LOT easier because we just crossed the street and went up a huge set of stairs that took us right into the park adjacent of the Resort.

Saturday was much better - the Marine Rescue/Rehab Facility, Ocean Institute, and swimming at the Resort.

We saw the seals being cared for (and we saw them being fed) before they are released back into the ocean . . .

We went through the Ocean Institute and the beach/tidepools . . .

And we enjoyed the better weather (and mood) by taking advantage of the splash pad and kid's pool (while Brady crawled all over the grass) . . .

Sunday we ate another great breakfast buffet and then hit the beach.

After checking out we got yummy food to go and hit another beach on the way home - with a playground to boot.

Fun to be had by all - another successful family adventure!
