Family time...
A few weeks ago we set off looking for a new park and some hiking trails and we stumbled upon this really cute park, called Pioneer Railroad Park in Tustin. Cute place and a splash pad for hot days. Then we made our way to Anaheim Hills for some hiking. It was a perfect day for us Williams!

Summertime...
We are almost done with our 5th week of summer with only 5 more days to go and the kids will be heading into a new school year! (Remember we are in a year-round school). Their days have been filled with so many parks, pool time, beach days, library, movies and just lazy days. Here's a little recap of our summer...
The first weekend of summer we headed to Griffith Observatory and the Train Museum in LA. I can't remember the last time I had been to the observatory and the hubby and I haven't ever been together so it's been at least over 15+ years. The kids enjoyed learning about the stars and planets and were so intrigued and asked so many questions about everything. Then we headed to the Train Museum and of course they enjoyed looking and climbing aboard all the trains. It has been a few years since we had been there so they were excited to be there again, and the best part is it is FREE! It was a fun filled day trip to LA.
We had little Logan's birthday party in June and the kids were very excited to ride the horses. Of course Ethan wanted to ride the horse so bad but Taelor wanted to go on the train and wanted nothing to do with the horse (yes she is still timid around animals, getting better, but very timid at first). They finally both decided to ride on the horse and after all the talking from Ethan, he ended up making his horse WALK because he was galloping too fast and Taelor was having the time of her life on her galloping horse and wanted to continue riding him. So I guess Taelor found her love for horses and has asked many times when we can go back, Ethan just liked to stroll and pet the horse. They couldn't be any different could they?
4th of July this year we did something different. Our community pool had a "Mardi Gras pool party" that we bought tickets too and had a GREAT time at the pool with our friends. The pool was PACKED with kids, music, fun activities, ventriloquist shows (those people are so weird, I don't get it, but the kids thought it was hilarious). It was a perfect day, probably one of our best 4th of July's we have had in a while. After hours of being in the sun we all came home to rest and nap up and then after being SO tired we headed back out to dinner with the same friends to Ruby's on the lake and walked to see the fireworks after dinner. The fireworks were disappointing this year but the kids still had a great time. By the end of the day we were ALL exhausted and we were out the minute we got home. And after thinking of my day, I did not take a single picture!!! What?!? So.not.like.ME! Guess I was enjoying my "sweet tea" and sun too much to worry about grabbing my phone. Well there is always next year!
We have had many pool days and beach days, soaking in this warm HOT weather (which by the way I am already over and the hot month is still to come!) But until then I will enjoy this last week of "summer" with the kiddos and looking forward to some time off of work.

Father's Day...a weekend away
This year we celebrated Father's Day in Palm Desert with my family (only 40 something of us...and that is only half of my family...hehe). My dad turned 70 this year and he wanted to celebrate it this weekend. So we all headed out to the hot desert and had a blast. The lazy river was perfect, the kids enjoyed themselves SO much, swimming, relaxing, playing with their cousins. It was a perfect weekend. Not to mention on Sunday we celebrated daddy! I mean sitting by the pool by 9am in the hot sun doesn't get any better. Saul we love you and you ARE the BEST daddy ever! Your kids are so lucky to have you home with them as much as you are. You are nothing but extraordinary, loving, fun, funny, good looking and all around the greatest dad ever! Thank you for all you do for our family. We love you SO much!! And to my dad, who has always been the greatest dad to me. He is so loved by all of us and is the best Papa! We love you dad/Papa!
Oh I wish I was floating on this lazy river! See you soon LR, I promise we will be back in the near future!
