Laura, being the stellar auntie that she is, took my kids not only over night, but out for a day of adventure. They began at the Legoland Aquarium in Carlsbad. Then went to the San Clemente Beach for a picnic and some fun in the ... gray weather. What a treat for everyone. Thanks Aunite Laura!!
(I'd like to say I used the break to organize my house, clean, or do some productive activity... but I slept in, took a really long shower, and went to see Benjamin Button. Truth be told, I don't regret it one bit!)

Just a regular California day in late January.


The little pirates searching for treasure!

These two pictures are so funny. The kids are posing with "Lego Parents" They are Lego figures that are stationary in the parking lot. Sierra is sitting with the "Lego Baby Sister". Hilarious. It would be my kids wanting to pose with
inanimate objects.
