We LOVE summer and love to stay busy, busy, busy. Between daily
49er camp at CSULB (only for 5 weeks thank goodness!) and weekly
piano, twice weekly
jiu jitsu and thrice weekly Spanish lessons, we tried cramming as many fun things as possible in before JT started school.
The last two weeks we had lots of fun with our friends the Long Beach M's. We visited
Pretend City, which was lots of fun... It's an entire community made for kids where they can dress up and "work" at different stations (marina, restaurant, fire house, police station, gas station, beach, farm, stage, home construction, market), getting stamps on their time card which they can then turn in to the ATM for pretend cash. With their cash they can choose to spend it, save it or donate it. I loved the concept and while I personally felt a little over stimulated around SO many little people, the kids and lillo B of the Long Beach M's had a great time together!

We spent an afternoon at
Buccaneer Bay which is in Splash, an Aquatic Center for the city of La Mirada. SO much fun, after waiting a little bit to snag "beach side" seats, we planted down and enjoyed an afternoon of splashing, sliding, swimming and friends! A mini water park designed especially for little ones, there's a super fun playground in 2 feet of water. All little ones under 48" are required to wear life vests that are provided free of charge. There's a lazy river (my fave!), that was moving more swiftly than lazily, three "big kid/grown up" slides that Mrs. M of the Long Beach M's and I took turns going down. We ate hot dogs and pb&j's from the snack bar and rode it out until J.T., lilloB, and Hea Bug started to melt down as a result of no naps. Good fun though and yay our admission included a free pass to return! Better get back soon before it gets too cold, good thing the pools are all heated!
That very evening Grandpa B scored us a stack full of tickets to see
Walking With Dinosaurs at the Honda Center! SOO cool! The Long Beach M's joined us and our Booth fam for awesome front row center seats. We enjoyed the show and the back stage tour where the kiddos were simultaneously awed and freaked out at the life like, giant dinosaurs.
Summer was grand, family is good, friends are fun and we are so blessed.
