We had another great weekend playing in Hemet with my family. Leila enjoyed playing with her cousins, cuddling with her Aunt and Uncle, and dancing with Grandma. We missed Auntie Abby who has been busy working in San Francisco.
We had a very special visit with my Dad and my Grandpa out in Hemet this last weekend. I have so many great memories with my Grandparents who moved to Hemet when I was young. We used to stay the night, play games, eat popcorn, and drink rootbeer floats. Grandpa is 97 now, and just as sharp as he was when I was young. Leila had a great time exploring her Great Grandpa's backyard, and giggling with her Grandpa. We hope to make visits more often when we come to town!
We attempted to feed just the ducks and have a nice calm time by the water....well every bird came to enjoy our bread. The pigeons were all over our feet with their long claws, and the seagulls were a bit agressive catching the bread in mid-air. We did find a few ducks to feed. Leila had fun watching, and throwing a few pieces in the water. I think the playground is a little more our style.
Does anyone remember this little boy from the original fisher price little people toys? Yai Yai and Papou have the little farm, and play school from when Adam was little. She loves to plays with these toys.
She even tries to imitate the little mean boy. We call it her mean boy face. Love her!
We escaped the desert and traveled to Big Bear Mountian this weekend. It's always challenging to travel with little ones, but as we do more things, Leila is learning how to sleep somewhere other than her comfy crib. We were invited to stay with 4 families in a 4 bedroom house that they rented. It was quite warm, but when we were leaving to come home it started snowing. This was Leila's first time in the snow. We took her tubing down a couple slopes, and had so much fun with 7 kids. I think this will be a yearly trip for us. 
What a great weekend!
Our little girl is such an eater. A very healthy eater I might add. She has always loved food, and will usually eat whatever I throw together for her meals. She eats her breakfast in her highchair then says "up" because she wants to see what's up on your plate. Today she grabbed Daddy's toast and kept eating. I don't think Daddy was very happy....
But we love this smiling face!
