The day after Christmas we headed to Mike and Carrie's place to spend a day with them. It was fun to hang out and let the kids play. The boys loved jumping on the trampoline and playing with Nicholas and Ryan's new Legos. We took an outing to the La Brea Tar Pits - it was pretty cool, but not much to it. I think the highlight may have been running down the hill outside the museum...
They liked trying to imitate this...
The last day of the year, we went for a family bike ride. We used our new bike trailer, which Weston and Savannah really enjoyed. I ended up biking about 9 miles! After about 1.5 miles, Owen had a little accident and bonked his knee. We didn't take the first aid kit with us, which Aunt Jane sent us (and must have known we would need), so I biked back home to get a band-aid. After patching Owen up, we continued on. It was pretty hard for Owen to bike the 3 miles to the beach, so after we got there, I biked home. I drove the car back to pick up Owen (and Savannah), while the others biked back home. So, Alex, Nathan, and Jared biked 6 miles, and I got in 9 - not too bad for an afternoon outing.
We watched a movie (1st Hobbit) at the neighbor's house on New Year's Eve, and then stayed up playing games with Nathan and Jared to ring in the new year.
We enjoyed a double feature at a drive-in theater on New Year's Day - Night at the Museum II and the 3rd Hobbit movie. The kids actually did pretty good considering how long we were there - LOTS of popcorn consumed! On the 2nd and 3rd, we did an outing to Monterrey Bay Aquarium and the Fresno Temple - we stayed overnight in Fresno. It ended up being a pretty tiring weekend more than fun. Oh well. We stopped at a Wal-Mart on the way home to buy Legos that were on sale and we got ice cream as well. So maybe the kids had a good weekend!
