OC Pride

Lilly is watching the OC roller girls
Kind of random, but check out these cool urinals!
Collecting candy and stickers at all the booths
Now for the amazing kids section for a lot of fun...starting with a pinata!
Collecting candy and looking for the "lucky peanut"
Check out those killer bouncy moves
Now for a little relay racing
Then the balloon man came and mesmerized the kids
Ariel
Now for some arts and crafts

Ariel and Superman!

Check out this cool motorcycle!
No Hate
That is what this day was about!
We had a great time today offering our support and enjoying the day!

Night at the Drive-In
I had never been to a drive-in before so we loaded up and headed to Riverside to check out
Cats and Dogs
The lovely Rubidoux theatre in Riverside where four year olds wear beer shirts and...well.. parents let them!
Getting set up...a little harder then we had imagined
A tasty picnic dinner

So excited for their first drive in movie!
As we anxiously awaited for our cinematic experience to begin, little did we know that we were waiting at the wrong screen! After settling in (which not being pros took a bit of time) and the movie starting, we realized we were parked in front of the R rated movie "The Other Guys" starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg...No Cats and Dogs in this one...just guns and lots of curse words. So as Chip fervently threw everything into the back of the car while I tried desperately to cover the children's eyes while balancing a large car seat on my lap...we slowly maneuvered out of our space trying very carefully not to take out any cars and movie goers as we went. All worked out well and we were able to get to the right side just in time for the movie to start...phew!
All in all this was super fun and we will...now as seasoned veterans... do this again!

Kicking Back
We used the car to move some stuff so we took the car seats out. In the morning I found Gus and his sister sitting in them.
We have trained them so well though that they actually buckled themselves in...much to Lilly's dismay!
Look at how dejected she looks!
Discovery Science Center
There was a health faire
And Sid The Science Kid was there!
But our kids would rather get tattoos then visit with Sid...and really would you blame them?
A little Hula Hooping
And teeth brushing
Now inside to play on the computers
And the sand (mommy's least favorite...yuck)
Then off to Grossology!
Sliding down the esophagus
Into the stomach
And here comes Gus and Eli out the rectum!

With Lillian close behind (no pun intended)!
Ah look at my little booger...so proud
Playing with an unidentified organ
Checking out the cut
Off to the Rockets!!
5,4,3,2,1...blast off!
Not enjoying the smoke much
So excited...rockets and Eli!!
They are so excited!
Are they hiding from the smoke or the dinosaur?



Off to the Tinkertoys
Then out to the dinosaurs
A little archeological dig
Ouch
What a great day with the kids oldest and favorite friend Elliot and his family...great seeing you Shneiders!
