Happy Father's Day !
The girls and I are very lucky. Felipe is a great father--- he is fun and plays with the girls so
much and makes them laugh more than anyone. He is such a great listener and gives them his undivided attention in such a geniune way, I really admire that about him. He knows how to play ponies, Barbies, animals, you name it he is game! When he was away for work a few months ago, Amalia said, " You are nice Mommy, but we miss Papi because he is more funnier!" Happy Father's Day , we love you!

Saturday Visits
On Saturday morning we left San Diego and headed to Granada Hills. We had a fun visit with Grandma, Donna and Mary and a yummy lunch. It was fun to see them. Then we headed out to Monrovia to visit with Harry, Dawn and their cute kids. It was so fun to see their home in person, it is so beautiful! Karl drove down to visit with us too. We had a fun visit and Dawn and Harry treated us all to a yummy dinner in town. After the kids were in bed, Barbara and Harry stopped by for a minute and then later on Dawn made the best brownies ever. They included 3 large Symphony bars and two brownie mixes, so so DELICIOUS!!! Of course we ate, stayed up late and laughed alot:) We slept in Dawn and Harry's guest room, so comfy! Then we headed out to the airport early Sunday morning. When Hannah picked us up at the airport the girls talked nonstop the whole way home, they were so excited to tell Hannah all about their trip! I forgot to take pix at Dawn and Harry's but I did take a few at Gandma's!
San Diego Beach
The girls had asked before our trip if we would be going to the beach, but we didn't promise anything because we didn't know how close it would be or how nice. So after Sea World on Friday we headed to the beach which was only 10 minutes away from our hotel and it was beautiful. The girls were beyond excited ---it was so cute. Had we known how close and nice it was we would've definitely scheduled more time. But we were there for about an hour and the girls even found shells! They both fell asleep so QUICKLY with their new "snuggles!"
Sea World
Sea World is incredible!!!! It is remarkable, entertaining, uplifting and so INCREDIBLE! I used that word twice because it was that cool of a day! We were able to see all 4 shows, and all the animal exhibits. It was very sunny so we had to buy some hats. The girls were also able to feed the dolphins, they are so sweet:) the dolphins and my girls! We all had such a fabulous day:)
The rest of our trip --- sorry about the delay
I have been enjoying our summer break! The girls and I have been sleeping in until 8 am everyday. We don't go back to school until September 3rd, we are looking forward to a relaxing summer and a traditional school year! So I'll pick up where I left off. We did our thrid day in Disneyland. We had a lot of fun in California Adventure. We went to the Aladin show, that was amazing and worth the price of a ticket right there. We also went to Playhouse Disney, Buzz Lightyear and hit a few of our favorites one more time, Heimlich, the bumper cars and of course Dumbo for Amalia and the Toon Town roller coaster for Karolina! We absolutley loved our time in both parks:) It was a great time of year to go, perfect weather and no crowds. Then we headed back to the hotel and drove down to Seaworld. We lucked out, hit no traffic and made in there in1 hour and 5 minutes. The girls loved being able to look at the ocean the whole drive down. We had a restful night and took the hotel shuttle to Seaworld the next morning.
