As we are coming to a close of week 1 of 8 that we have been in CA, I figured that I should update our happenings. We have had a busy week. The kids have gotten to see the garden that they will be attending to at their Choo Choo Papa and Choo Choo Grandma's home.(Great-grandparents) They like to go over not only to visit, but they know where all the well stocked candy dishs are.
Becoming a nightly ritual, the kids like to go in the hot tub with Papa and Nana. William even goes in, sans swimsuit. He LOVES it; splashing his arms and kicking his legs endlessly.
I am enjoying having a backyard with a fence. At home the kids just can't go play in the back yard because it isn't fenced in. Here they can go out and play in the dirt, blow bubbles, play chalk and steal their Papa's golf balls. We even got them each a bike and Isaac also has a scooter to play with.
On of the outings that we went on was to Tilden park by Berkeley. The kids had a great time riding the steam train and the merry-go-round. They were treated to hot dogs, lemonade, ice cream and cotton candy. I was doing everything I could to hope that the kids don't barf it up on the way home.
On Father's day we went to my Uncle Bill's home to hang with the whole Gordillo clan minus Nico, Jim, Michael, Cierra and Mikey. It was nice to eat and hang out with everyone that I haven't seen in a while. The kids had fun too vying for everyone's attention.
We also had a treat from my Auntie Jaci and cousin Emily, a trip to Chabot theatre to watch Madagascar 3. The kids loved it and enjoyed being able to eat candy and popcorn and drink soda.
The kids also started swimming lessons this week. I was really excited for them since they have been in lessons back home since February. Elizabeth cried through her first lesson but was fine during her second. She normally swims on her tummy by herself, dives for rings in the 4 ft of water and goes under with no problems. Here, she is content just playing with a toy and blowing bubbles. I think it is because she is used to a 90* pool and this one is 82*.
