Fun in Laguna

We headed down to Laguna on a nice overcast day to play at the park and grab some lunch. It was a super fun Friday with the Larks.

Grant's way of going down the slide. Ugh.

Yes, they were VERY snug in this swing. Ashly had to help me wedge them out!

Chasing the Kogi truck

The kogi truck was in Irvine on Thursday night.

I wish I would have taken a picture of the line of people that this truck attracted.

Luckily we were there early enough to avoid being the 150th person in line.

Naomi fell asleep on the way there, so she stayed in the car while we feasted on some seriously good korean/mexican fusion truck food.

We might be frequenting this place often. YUM

Fish live in the Ocean

We went to the Long Beach aquarium

Every fish was Nemo or Dory

I actually caught Grant taking a 5 second break? Amazing.

The porcupine at the aquarium....?

We ate Corner Bakery sandwiches, shave ice and treats

Grant

He is crazy wild.

He loves to scream, happy or not.

He likes to run and never stop.

He likes to tackle, bite, headbutt and roll over whatever is in front of him.

When he throws fits, he headbutts whatever is closest to him.

He likes to climb, never stops.

He throws everything, food being one of his favorite things to chuck across the kitchen.

He has an arm on him and is amazingly strong.

He already over powers Naomi.

He likes to dance, but sometimes gets shy if he notices all attention is on his moves.

He loves his blanket from nana pat.

He doesn't want to be fed, he does everything on his own.

He loves balls.

He loves stairs.

He gives the cutest kisses ever.

He doesn't share.

He takes what he wants, no one can deter him.

He says:

mama

dada

ball

thank you

uh oh

dance

no

Alyssa's Candy Land

Happy birthday to Alyssa!

It was a birthday party that every kid would dream of having

...even dream of being invited to!

the BIG DADDY of bounce houses

the never-ending bar of delicious and sticky candy

not to mention the random candy strewn across the party tables

the super amazing cupcakes

and the adorable party favor sucker with a tooth brush attached

they needed that tooth brush, let me tell you!

I happened to be in heaven with the Taco guy that was set up there. It was so hard not to go back for seconds...thirds...and even fourths!

I want him set up at my house 24/7, is that too much to ask?

BEST TACOS EVER

Where Naomi can be Naomi

And Luke and Dan can be kids again! Dan was bringing the heat to Chuck-e-cheese, even breaking some records! It was a fun farewell to Luke before leaving for China again. Naomi's request, of course. It's one of her favorite things to do with her dad. Grant was on a mission to bug every kid in this place, ruining as many games as possible by tackling kids mid-dance off game. He is my crazy.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day madness began at the Rasmussen pool party that had never ending fun and food. Naomi loves the independence that her floaties gives her. She is so comfortable in the water, so it's about time to get her some good swim lessons!

We headed over to party with the Inkley's after that. We swam and watched Grant run all around the yard with food in one hand and anything he could find to drag along side him in the other.

It was a good day in the sun with both families!
