It’s been a great couple of weeks in the Martin household… we’ve been busy having fun and making wonderful memories.
A couple of weeks ago, we took a trip down the peninsula to Santa Clara to spend the day at Great America. We haven’t been to an amusement park since TJ was 18-months-old, and needless to say… he had a blast!!!
TJ rode all the rides in Kidzville, and he loved playing in the water park at Planet Snoopy. His favorite ride? The rollercoaster! Mommy wasn’t sure what to expect, but TJ loved the fast-paced ride… raising his arms and squealing in delight. We rode it four times! He also jumped behind the wheel of a bumper car for the first time. Initially, he couldn’t figure out how to get out of the corner, but he got the hang of it, and he loved it when he and the other kids would bump!
TJ & Frankie met Snoopy, Woodstock and the rest of the Peanuts Gang. Our “Little Linus” even got a picture with the real Linus… blankets and all!
Last weekend, Aunt G came into to town to visit and help Mommy out while Daddy was at his Fantasy Football Draft. The new Bay Bridge was opening, and we were expecting a busy weekend at work, but it ended up being slow and we had a chance to get in a lot of quality visiting.
Before Daddy flew out for SoCal, we all went to the Greatest Show on Earth! It was the boys’ first time, and we all had an amazing time taking in the sights and sounds of the circus!
TJ loved the woman who flew out of the cannon – he now tries to get Daddy to help him re-enact it! Frankie was in awe of all the music and lights!
The next day, the boys had their first experience of Chuck E. Cheese’s. TJ was a crackup. Apparently he watches too much TV because he kept saying, “Chuck E. Cheese’s is a proud sponsor of Disney Junior.” Oh Lord!
It was a great weekend, and we were all sad to see Aunt G go, but we’re excited to get through the rest of the week so Grandma can hurry up and get here! She’s flying in to watch the boys so Mommy & Daddy can fly out to the Big Easy for the big game (and to celebrate our 5-year wedding anniversary)! WHO DAT!
