Face Book. . . and Summer Fun!

So I finally created a facebook account and I'm not completely sold on it. I guess I just really like how blogging feels more personal and allows people to come along with you on your journey through life :) (ok kinda cheesy but blogging makes it easier to be far away from friends and family when you can see pics and read about all the stuff your missing) ANYWAY i'm sure as soon as I learn how to use it properly i'll be a FB junky. Moving on to more important things our latest happenings I neglected to blog about. . . Back in April we went to Santa Monica (again :) It's becoming one of my new fav vacay getaways. It's laid back cali fun.

Crew sitting first class watching Cars and eating gold fish. . . seriously this kid has flown first class more than coach. *Thanks to my Gold Medallion Status* I guess all those LONG flights to and from Singapore paid off.

Santa Monica Pier Aquarium. So cool you get to touch all the sea creatures.

"Really mom? You're embarrassing me!"

I love his chubby little finger pointing to the sharks below

My fav part of the Aquarium, the Shark Nursery. These are the different stages of an unborn shark. The mother shark lays these sacs in the sand and they just grow and I believe eat their way out. Very interesting to the 2nd grade teacher in me :)

Family bike ride down the beach bike path.

His first encounter with a real ladybug! He loved it until. . . 

He squished it with his chubby fingers. Poor ladybug. For a few weeks after he kept asking to go find ladybugs and squish them.

This was week 2 of potty training! He did really good to let us know he had to go, but there weren't any bathrooms around. It sure is nice having a boy it makes peeing on the go so much easier.

He was pretty proud of his 'puddle'

Such a handsome catch I have.

3rd Street Promenade is awesome. If you ever go to Santa Monica check it out. 

My little dinosaur

Story time at the library. 

(Yes I take Crew to the library even on vacation. It's really fun for the kids they love listening to stories and singing the silly songs.)

wheel on the bus

Maybe how old he is???

Ready for our daily swim

This day he was so grumpy and would not cooperate for my pics so I took it anyway. I really like this statue of a family.

A pine cone almost as big as my head ;)

Ok so he was grumpy because he was STARVING! He continued to eat about half the tray of veggies.

And then for dinner his favorite. . . naan bread and yummy Indian food with Jer's co-worker Arnold. 

There's more photos to post but I'll have to do another one later I'm pooped and it's late. It sure is fun getting to travel with daddy! What will we do when he is in school and we're tied down?
