Children's Garden

We've been meaning to check out the Children's Garden in Thousand Oaks for a few years and finally we made it there last Sunday. It's only open on Sunday's and we were so pleased to find out there's little hiking trails attached.  The kids felt like they were on a safari and mommy felt like we were in Yosemite! Huge overhanging trees gave it a forest feel and we hiked along a stream which the kids LOVED!  After our little hike the kids made new friends(of course) and had a tea party in the tea cave. Bentley's favorite part was the tree house that was just his size!  There was also a pirate cave and of course Presto had to bring out the treasure box and show us what he found:) So fun...oh and it's freeee...we're always up for some free fun:)

BOO!!

Palm Springs 2013!

The kids love heading to the desert.  We stayed 3 nights in La Quinta.  We had our breakfast each morning by the pool followed by pool time.  Our first day we hit the Children's Museum where the kids went grocery shopping in the mini store and made us pizza in the pizzeria! Bentley loved painting the VW bug for the first time.  We spent one day at The Living Desert.  It was our first time there and we loved it! There was  a beautiful carousel for the kids and they loved riding a camel! Presto's favorite part hands down was the huge model train village.  He could've spent all day there.  Sophia said "I'd rather be taking a nap".  No joke.  We laughed so hard b/c that's saying a lot...she despises naps!! Our last evening we had dinner with one of Daddy's friends from work and their 3 kiddies and Las Consuelas (our very favorite eatery in Palm Springs).  It was a perfect warm night so we sat out on the loud patio with lots of music and loud parties so the kids could be kids!

Daddy/kiddie dancing time!
