Crystal Cove Beach

Today, we all went to the Crystal Cove Beach. I decided to bring my own backpack to the beach.










I played and played with the waves coming in.














The waves were sooooooo exciting. I just love the water.














Look at me run away from the waves.














Deciding whether I should go into the water or not. I'm a good swimmer...but these waves?!










Kai also was deciding whether to go into the water, or just play with the sand.










He decided to mostly just play in the sand.










And continue playing with the sand.










Papa and I deciding how far to get into the water.

Again, Kai playing with the sand and his truck. Will Luna come and play with me?

Deciding to play with sand. But had Papa build me a hole and fill it with water.

Mama out here having fun.

She chased us all and was pouring water on us.

It was such a GREAT day. Beautiful blue sky and nice cool breeze. The nice part (what isn't) of living in Southern California.

Family vistit from San Diego

My Tio, Tia and cousins Dario and Joaquin came to visit us last weekend. My cousins are such clowns.










Of course, I then had to join them with their clown faces/poses.









Everyone eating some good food and catching up.










Choco coming in to try and sneek some food.










Joaquing showing me how to jump. Should I do it?











Of course!!!

Maiya and Kenji's Bday party

We went to our friends house to celebrate their birthdays.










Their mama and papa had a small petting zoo for everyone to enjoy.










Kai spent a loooooooong time petting the animals.










Me? I went and spent my time chasing bubbles from the bubble machine with everyone else.










So, what's the best thing of a birthday party that I kept looking for? A pinata full of candy! I'm getting very good at hitting them at birthday parties, but I still can't break them :(










Mama had to stay home because she was sick and we missed her, but it was still a fun day.

Luna Swimming Lesson

Luna has been advancing quickly in her swimming lessons. She has moved over to the bigger pool and can swim from one side to the other.

Memorial Day at Long Beach

Mama is in Pittsburg for the week, so Papa took us to Long Beach for the day. First stop: Aquarium of the Pacific










We spent some time outside petting the sharks...we were not scared at all. They had some fish in there that looked like Dory from Finding Nemo. (Of course, when they came home, that's what they wanted to see at night.)










They have an aquarium where the waves move up & down. We just stared at it for what seemed like hours!














It was a BEAUTIFUL day in Long Beach. We went to a small park outside the aquarium to enjoy the weather. Here I am with the Long Beach Lighthouse in the background.










You can see the Queen Mary ship in the back. We wanted to ride it...but it was too far away.










Playing together.














At the end of the day, Kai refused to go. He can be very stubborn? and will be in his own little world. He is totally different from Luna. Luna would be crying/screaming if left along. Kai would be happy.

Ballerina Day on Saturdays

Luna not only goes to swimming lessons, but on the weekends she goes to dance class. She really enjoy's this very much and looks forward to it when she wakes up. Here are a couple of videos from her lesson today.

Birthday Weekend at Lake Havasu

We were invited to go to Lake Havasu for Hector's Bday with our friends Ian, Monica and their son Nathan. They own a vacation home in town.





Out enjoying the boat. Ian was the pilot the entire day.







It was breezy, 100 degree weather...just perfect.







Miwa with the kids. They loved the boat!







A view of the river gorge. The river narrows down in there and has some beautiful views.






Luna was TIRED on the way back in. The boat made her sleepy.











Outside enjoying some drinks. The evenings outside are nice and cool.








The next day, we went to a different place in the river.

Miwa going out on the Seadoos.

Luna's turn! She was scared at first to try, but then got the courage to go out with Ian.

A nice shot with the sun going down.

It was a FANTASTIC weekend!
