Coolest Park Ever

There is a park located at Oxnard State Beach that we call Pirate Park. My kids love it and I just wanted to post how cool and beautiful this park is. The pictures are taken from my phone and don't do it justice. We frequent whenever we can but it has been busy this summer so we have been going less. If you get a chance, go there!

Swim/BBQ party

We celebrated the 1st day of August by having a swim BBQ party. We had so much fun and my boys can't get enough of being in a pool. It was hard to get them to leave. Enjoy the pics.

Spamalot

Last night Jared took me to see Spamalot for the second time! We saw the traveling cast in Salt Lake the first time but this cast was much better!! Half of this cast is from the original cast from Broadway!! They were amazing. If you haven't seen this show, you should. But warning: If you don't like Monty Python humor you won't like this show!! It is playing in LA at the Ahmanson through Sep 6 and if you go the day of you can get rush tickets for $20. Hope you like it. :)

Is this Normal?

Sometimes I worry about this kid.....

Beach Time...again

Once again the perks of living in So Cal is going to beach whenever you want!! I went with my friend Tami and her 2 boys and we had the best time. The weather was perfect, the people around us were so nice, and we got to see a headless dead seal!! It couldn't make for a better day. (I hope you can sense the sarcasm of the last point, I was laying it on kinda thick). But really the weather was perfect and the people were nice. :) I didn't take any pictures of the seal cause it was really gross. There have been shark sitings in Malibu so it is rumored a shark bit off the head, but I don't think it was. They boys were so good and we managed to stay for 3 1/2 hours!! That is a record with my boys. I always aim for 2. This time we went to Zuma and I really liked it!

We found a shark!!

Ian and Ethan were playing chicken for hours!!

When the bee stings...

Poor Ian. He got stung by a bee not once but twice this week!! Both times on his poor little foot. He is such a trooper though. He sat there very patiently while I took out the stinger and made a mud pie to put on his foot to take out the venom. I hope, for his sake, he doesn't get stung again! He doesn't seem to care much afterwards either. Thank goodness for little kid memories. :)

Pirate Days

Today we went to the Ventura Harbor and celebrated pirate days with all the crazy pirate people. It is just an excuse to wear their Halloween costumes. :) We had a fun time. They had costumes contests, learn to talk like a pirate, sword fights, and even a pirate wedding! Ian had fun until it was time to go. We might try going again next year.

Ian with the pirate girls. He looks like he is in shock. :)

Yep, there's the Titanic. Don't ask.
