California {Day 8 & 9}

June 18, 2013

We decided to walk to get breakfast this morning.

We took the kids to a donut shop (their first time ever!).
They've had donuts before, but not been into a donut shop to pick out one for themselves.

They loved it.  Rylan, not so much!
(I guess that is a good problem to have.)

Getting into Gigi's dishwasher and "organizing" the silverware.

Hitting the road!

We went to Old Town Orange to all the Antiques stores there.
Payton found a bunny that is EXACTLY like the one Sasha has at home.

Dylan loved looking at all the old (and sometimes new - shocking) things for sale.

For lunch we had one of my favorite subs from when I was in high school, at Orange Tree Deli.
They were sweet and split it into 4 sandwiches for us.

On the way home we got caught at the train.
Oh . . . I cannot count how many times I've had to wait for these trains.
There was even one night when I had to pee SO bad and . . . well, I'll save that story for another time.

We counted the cars . . . 140.

It was a loooooong one!
The trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at Costco (and eating samples!).

We met up with everyone at the Food Trucks.
It was a fun (aka - yummy) night!
Look at some of the things I got to try . . .

My favorite?  The bacon wrapped date.  Oh my!

Dessert?  Thrifty ice cream from Rite Aid!

Do you like Payton's {nasty} florescent "Cotton Candy" ice cream?  Yuck!
After that we hung out at Auntie D's.

Dylan and Payton ended up having a sleep over at Auntie D's with the cousins.
Looks like they had too much fun {smile}!

My sweet boy having Hot Coco.

We met back up and headed to Newport Beach.

It was a perfect day.
Beautiful weather (not too cold),
not a lot of people (shockingly),
and the kids had a blast.
Did you see the crabs they caught (and released back into the water after picture time)?

Clockwise starting top left:
Juliette and Me
Our "camp" for the day
Dylan and Penelope - 3 months apart in age and BEST buds
My little sandy man
The best attempt I got for a pic of all 3 of my kids
Catching teeny-tiny sand crabs

 This is what tired, sandy munchkins looks like.

 Prior to marriage, I lived down at Newport Beach. So I showed the kids which house I lived in.
It was the back bottom unit.  My door was way down that walk way right where the fence is.
215 1/2 20th Street
I thought it was cool to have a "half" address.

Heading home at 2:39pm on a Wednesday and we hit traffic.
{Crazy I tell ya!}

So do you think we did enough for today?
Of course not!
The kids went night swimming too.

We like them good and tired!
