The girls love building sand castles, hunting for shells, flying kites and leaving footprints on the sand. So, we spent this week hanging out at the Doheny State Beach and Laguna Beach. The weather was great, the skies completely sunny and the sand perfect for castle building. However, the girls aren’t too excited about the cold water.

Here’s a collection of snapshots from our time at the beach. Enjoy the pictures: [Read more…]

So, the girls asked, “what are we doing today?” Mommy says, “we’re going to the Zoo!” The girls scream in unison, “YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” On our first trip with Kate a year ago, we learned first hand the size of the zoo. So on this trip, we opted for the 45-minute Guided Bus Tour that covers about 70 percent of the Zoo.

During our trip, Kate and Sophie got to see the following: rhinos, monkeys, giraffes, pandas, elephants, tigers, reindeer, zebras, bears and loads of other animals.

We loved our visit to the Mission. The girls ran crazy through the gardens, smelled more flowers than they ever have, picked fruit from trees and explored the old mission. The staff was really welcoming and even picked some fruit for the girls. Then, the girls carried the fruits for hours.

Here are a few cute snapshots of the girls during our most recent adventure: [Read more…]

The girls love Lantern Park and who wouldn’t. There are walking and biking paths that go around the park. And did I mention the views, awesome panoramic views of the ocean, Doheny Beach, Dana Point Harbor and beyond. You can sit there and watch the surf. Oh, the breezes are great and it never seems to be hot here.
