A Birthday Party!

One of Gus and Lilly's favorite school friends had a birthday party. Mom got the invitation confused with another invitation for a different birthday party and the Brody-Pope's were actually early! So we went over to a local park and played until the party started.

Finally we got to the party!!!

They had so much fun in the bouncy house!

And playing Spider Man

And bubbles

And hanging with friends!

And they served Lilly's favorite, Mac and cheese and hot dogs!

Obviously Lilly felt comfortable there, maybe she needs a Miss Manners class?!

Spider Girl!

A little swinging

Pinata Time!!

Second Pinata time!

Lilly giving swing rides

Present time

We had a great time celebrating!!!

Sea World

First stop...Aunt Dana's school

To check out the treasure box...or should I say room!

Whoa!

What to pick?

Of course...a sticky brain and bloody finger!

And Lilly?

Next we have to check out Aunty's office

And Gus had to practice writing his name!

Shamu...here we come!

But first we need a kiss

Watch out!

Look...does she look devious?

The answer is yes...here she is setting off the alarm that protects the large shark jaws!

A slight scolding from Pop

Off to see some dolphins

Oops maybe Mom should have read this sign before she started taking pictures!

Whales...we made it!

Can't wait to get soaked!

Grandma couldn't wait for the Churros!

Yum!

Yum!

Now it is time to play!

Time to go

One tired boy!

I love the shirt :)

Hanging out with Auntie Pam & Cousin Torey

Started with lunch at Ruby's (of course) where Torey gave the kids gobs of gifts including a jewelry box chocked full for miss Lilly...who of course had to accessorize right then and there!

Hot Wheels!!

Auntie Pam played pirate....arrrgggg

After lunch Gus got a haircut

Then off to Torey's house to draw and have fun

Lilly was saving paper and being green...literally!

Maybe they will be artists like their Grandpa. How small is the world? The picture hanging at Torey's house was done by Gus and Lilly's Grandpa!

Chip relaxed with Audrey...the well dressed dog (not grandma Audrey)

Oops Chip, not Audrey's best side!

Gus and his Great Aunt Pam

Swinging with pop

More swinging!

You know your kids are tired when they start looking for places to nap!

Lilly even got her own pillow!

Night, night!

Gus chose Torey's bathroom for his!

End of the day....While Dad did the dishes Lilly put her baby Be to sleep in her new bed (thanks Torey!) while Gus attacked them with his new robotic bug (thanks Mom and Dad)!

What a great day visiting with Auntie Pam and Torey in Palos Verdes!!
