Fire pit fun

We lit up the fire pit and roasted some marshmallows. Jax is a big fan of roasted marshmallows! Who knew? Maryam ate the chocolate and Daddy and Momom ate s'mores. It was fun!
We sang happy Birthday to Momom then ate cake and Oreo ice cream.
It was a nice way to end our little mini vacation.

Afternoon at Dave and Busters

We took the kids to Dave and Buster's for a late lunch/early dinner and lots and lots of games!
They had a great time!

Morning at the beach!

We woke up and headed to the beach! Hooray! Two beaches in two days in two different cities! The kids LOVED it! Mommy and Daddy loved it too. We're very much beach people. Love everything about it.
They built sandcastles, threw rocks, buried each other, played in the water, played on the playground, and saw dolphins! It was an awesome 3 hours.

Disneyland!

We took the kids to Disneyland to celebrate Maryam being an eater for 3 years!!!! Pretty huge milestone. It means Maryam has been an eater longer than she was a tubie. I'm so proud of her.
Here are some pictures of our evening. Maryam is finely tall enough for Goofy's Flight School. So she got to go on her first roller coaster! She loved it! Plus it means she's finally over 42" tall! I took a picture of her next to the sign.
I also managed to get a great picture of all 4 of us! Hooray! There's a fun picture of Maryam sharing her spaghetti with Jax. They're so sweet to each other. I'm so proud of them.

Fun time at the beach

I took the kids to Coronado this morning. I really wanted to take Jax on the bridge and I really wanted Maryam to get some beach time. She loves the beach. We ended up at North Island right next to the Naval Air Station! I used to go to this beach as a kid.
Jax was stoked when the jets started taking off. They would launch 3 or 4 at a time. We were maybe 300 yards away. He was so happy!!!
Maryam had fun digging and digging and making "sand angels". She lived it. They both had fun running from the waves and they both had moments of bravery as long as they were holding my hands. They would only go out into the water if I held their hands. It was cute!

San Diego

I brought the kids to San Diego for the weekend. I wanted to go to my friend Jessica's baby shower. Plus, I really wanted a weekend away from the desert and close to the beach!
I took the kids to Harbor Island to see if anyone of the Sport Fishing docks had any large tunas or marlins for the kids to see. Unfortunately there weren't any in the hour we were there.
After that we had lunch at Corvette Diner. The kids loved it! I hadn't been there in forever. They changed locations and grew into a gaming/dinning type restaurant. It was fun!
Tomorrow we're spending the day on the beach. We haven't decided between Coronado or La Jolla, so I'm thinking both!
