Alyssa's Last Day

The boys had a great time with their cousin, Alyssa. They took her to Disneyland, California Adventure, Lake Arrowhead, the beach, the zoo, baseball games (watched the Yankees lose), and the pool. Two days after she left, we asked Ryan if he missed her...his response, "No, now I get my room back!" We know he misses kicking her tush on Wii Sports. Today, Ethan saw mommy with her hair covering her face. He said, "Your hair like Alyssa."

Swimming Lessons

Erin and I enrolled the boys in swimming lessons through the community center. They are in their third week of the program and loving every minute of it. Ethan is practicing red light green light. Red means relax, yellow blow bubbles, and green kick away. Ryan looks like a natural resting on the side of the pool. He is practicing kicking with straight legs.

A Day at the Local Zoo

During our summer vacation, we took the boys to the Irvine Park to see the zoo and ride on the railroad. The zoo features animals that are found in our local area, mountain lions, hawks, eagles, bears, and coyotes. The boys even had the opportunity to feed and brush some animals too. It was a nice afternoon despite the heat.

Fireworks Display

The night of the 4th, the family took the boat out on the lake to watch the firework display at Lake Arrowhead. We could tell that Ethan was impressed because he yelled, "Yeah Baby!"

Lake Arrowhead

Ryan and Ethan are having a blast in the mountains fishing, playing games, and watching the other kids play in the water. So far we have been unsuccessful catching any fish.
