We had an awesome Father’s Day.
Kurt is an amazing father. There is not a more loving example of a husband and father than my dear Kurt.
Here he is helping Peter, “climb, climb” the big guy playground.
Sliding together!
Our 36″+ nearly two year old son can drive this car… This is his happy place, driving!
BEFORE – The anticipation builds….
DURING – Full blown excitement!
This is what a six year old Sally looks like. Cute, huh?
We had oodles of fun at her party.
Here is Uncle Kurt and Cousin Peter getting ready to celebrate!
Strawberry Shortcake spewed goodies shortly after this photo was taken.
COOOOOOKKKKIIEEEESSS!
She opened her presents and read her cards! (SMART GIRL!)
I love this little girl so much. So does Uncle Kurt and Cousin Peter!
Here is a very happy family of three at the end of a great day!
We went to Five Guys and this was Peter’s reaction. Also, he may or may not have eaten an oreo. ha.
Lazy Sunday. This is how we rolled to our errands.
Pretty soon, Peter cried out, “BRIGHT, BRIGHT” and he put on his NEW shades. WOWOWOWOWOW. Cute ones, eh? He takes them off and puts them into his chair’s cupholder. Then it’s bright again and blammo, he puts them on again.
First time to see the new parade. Here is Peter acting like a lion; hence the crazy mean face and scary looking paw.
Here are my handsome fellas in line for the Astro Orbiters. Peter was SO happy to ride on the Astro Orbiters again. We were having fun waiting and taught him “right” and “left” in line. (He’s so smart.)
Just before our launch. He was super thrilled. “Hi Mom!”
This was Peter’s first hand stamp. The cast member gave it to him for funsies. He was ALL about it, and frankly, I couldn’t believe he has never had a stamp (of any kind) yet.
Later on, we went over to California Adventure (“Disney California Adventure Park”) for some tiny kid fun. They are renovating it, and honestly, I can hardly believe that they can charge people to attend. BUT it will be great once it is done. Right now, it is pretty underwhelming especially near the entrance (but all over really). The Little Mermaid is almost ready, and Cars 2 land is getting ready, the structures at the front are making progress, too.
Back to the point… We really wanted to take him to the “A Bug’s Land” (based one the film: A Bug’s Life, which we recently watched at home) area because those attractions are intended for super tiny people. In fact, 36″ tall was the requirement at the Tuck and Roll’s Drive ‘Em Buggies and I took a picture with Peter standing next to the sign.
We went on some really fun ones (not pictured), called Francis’ Ladybug Boogie, and Heimlich’s Chew Chew Train. There were more but we saved them for next time. It is a funny thing, even at Disneyland, the “bedtime crazies” clock in for the job. So, we decided to make a dash for beddy bye.
*#1,937 was a rough estimate of how many times Peter has attended Disneyland, but it not an actual count.
Kickin’ it with Mom’s glasses, some trains, and Cookie Monster jammies. Yeah.
This story happened nearby to Huntington Beach. In fact, so close to our house, we heard and saw the fire trucks and helicopters.
We drove past on Friday night and it was scary and sad. It may have been their summer home (many homes on the beach are used as rentals), true, but it was the loss of two homes never the less.
The fire authorities said that the cause of the fire was the BBQ on their wooden deck.
Public Service Announcement!
Please be safe when you are enjoying BBQ, and other Summertime FIRE-related fun.
Making a Playdough smiley face is one of our daily traditions these days. It is amazing to watch his motor skills develop to such a fine level. Just think, two years ago he was a belly dweller. That said, still, a daily reminder of “DO NOT eat that” is necessary.
