August Randomness

IMG_0136
With only a few weeks left before school begins, we decided we needed to cram in just a few more fun activities.  We went to Great Wolf Lodge, not to swim or stay a night, but just to walk around the hallways and wave our trusty magic wand at the pictures on the walls to "make them talk"

A little fun with the phone cam
IMG_0145
And again
IMG_0146
Last one, I promise!

This is at the airplane museum.  They had a cool weather exhibit

Camila sleeping with her naked baby.  She usually falls asleep on the ride home from whatever activity we were doing that morning.  I need to learn to start packing her lunch, as she usually falls asleep before we get home and then the nap time is shortened because she wakes up starving.  Of course, her first word once I walk into her room is Nana, Nana!  (banana)
IMG_0159
Fun times at Legoland.  They had a special going, so we ended up buying a year pass for $45.  Everyone loved it, so Im sure we will be getting our money's worth
IMG_0177
She was facinated by the Lego dog and kept poking her finger into its eyes.

Marco acting like this was a race car when it barely went 5 mph!

dress up at Paradise pond. 
IMG_0194
With all the options of toys to play with, where do I find her.  In the car area of course.  Probably because it was something she is familiar with.   She didnt know what to do with those silly dolls.  :)

Sleepy time on the way home from Grampi's.  Love how everyone's head is tilted to the left. Now all Camila has to work on is opening her mouth a little wider so the drool can escape.

OC 2012- the final adventure

IMG_8579
Our return trip home did not go as planned.  Our flight was cancelled and we had to go to Washington DC to fly out.  But we made the best of it and did a little car sight seeing on the way to the airport.  Of course, the kids decided to fall asleep as soon as we were 5 minutes away from all the monuments.
IMG_8584
Marco was very interested in the different architecture we saw on the buildings.  And unfortunately I could not answer his questions as to why they were designed this way.  I guess that is something to investigate.
IMG_8585
He really wanted to know why there was a naked man on the roof
IMG_8592
Washington Monument a la front windshield.  We never got out of the car, but traffic was so bad we could just roll down the street and stick our camera out the window.
IMG_8594
This is as close as we could get to the White House without having to find a place to park
IMG_8598
Another Marco question, "why is that old grandpa just sitting there?"
IMG_8607
This is the happy face the kids' got to see when everyone was doing good and not fighting
 
IMG_8609
This is what they got when things were not going to hot- me telling them to knock it off!

The whole crew!  I'm glad we were able to be there at the same time this year.  We missed you Wendy (and family!)

OC 2012

Hector catching a wave.  Some days they were really strong.
IMG_8434
We didn't build the castle, but we sure took advantage of its awesome picture backdrop!
IMG_8442
Didn't build this one either, but it looked cool
IMG_8448
Not sure if I would want either of them to be MY life guard! :)
IMG_8455
Have to get my annual lifeguard pose.
IMG_8390
One of the first shots.  It is so hard to get Camila to either smile or look at the camera.
IMG_8395
Love the expressions on everyone's face for this one.  This was one of the last we took for the day
IMG_8445
My favorite family shot
