Fun in the Sun

The three of us took a quick trip to Southern California for Labor Day.  Daddy had his annual Fantasy Football draft party in Orange County, so TJ & Mommy tagged along, and we managed to get a lot of visiting done in just two days.


It started with a fun get-together at the Berlanga's.  While the boys were drafting their teams, all the moms & kiddos hung out, talked, ate snacks, played and swam in the pool.  TJ loved playing with Sam, River, Liam, Amelia, and Jagger.  He especially loved Sam's Spider Man toys and of course, Sam's pool.  TJ hasn't spent much time in the water, but he wasn't phased at all!  He swam and swam, and slid down the slide splashing into the water.  It was definitely a challenge getting him out of there!


The best part: we were able to get the kiddos to sit in the same spots they did 2 years before, and "re-create" the picture from 2010.  (It only took a little bribing with candy!)



After a fun day with everyone, it was time to make the drive north to Nana's house.  TJ ended up passing out on the way, and he didn't wake up until the next morning.  Once he was awake, it was playtime!  TJ had fun playing with Nana & all of the toys at her house. 

We then headed back to Orange County to visit Rode, Christine and their brand new baby girl, Elle.  She is such a precious little girl, and we were so glad to be able to meet her and see the new parents!

After our visit, we headed to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana.  Uncle Justin & Auntie Ann met us there, and we all had such a great time chasing TJ around!   TJ loved exploring all the exhibits.  He especially loved the trash truck game, the airplane and the submarine.  It was nice to visit with Justin & Ann.


After dinner, we went back to Nana's house for some more playtime with Nana & Bill.  Peggy stopped by for a visit, and TJ enjoyed playing with her, too.

It was a quick trip, but we always say, it's more about quality than quantity!
