You can tell it's definitely summer, because everynight this last weekend we were outside at one event or another. This last weekend was great! Full of activities! Thursday, we went to our outdoor concert event at the mall with Nina and Brian where they played some great oldies this week. Friday, we went to an outdoor kids concert, Charlotte Diamond, in Moorpark which was fun. We listen to her music in mommy and me classes, like I Am A Pizza!

Then, Kat and Jon came out late Saturday afternoon and we went to yet another outdoor concert, this time Oak Park, for a Queen cover band called Queen Nation. They were awesome, but it was a long walk to get to the park. We had soo much fun, escpecially Aedyn playing with bubbles. We stayed up late to play some games with Kat and Jon. They brought this new game called Pass the Popcorn, it rocked! Gotta get it! It was amazing that we stayed up until at least midnight! We missed them so much!

The next morning we went to the beach for the first time with Aedyn and Connor. I was so excited! The weather was supposed to be sunny and hot, but that was for Simi not where we ended up to going, Channel islands, so we could take the dogs. It was quite chilly and windy.
Aedyn loves to dig in the dirt so I thought he would love the beach. HE DID NOT like the sand. He didn't want to step in it or play with it at first. I convinced him to eventually help me build a sandcastle. Then, Shane took him to the water. He was scared at first but after he got in, he didn't want to get out, he kept trying to go further out so the waves could hit him. We had to force him out of the freezing water. Connor did like the feel of the sand on his feet though! We didn't stay long because it was so cold but just long enough to have had an adventure. I got a few pictures, but not enough to capture te entire experience. We are so grateful Jon was there with his camera to capture those moments! After we all had lunch at In N' Out, said goodbye to Aunty and Uncle, and then home for naps.

I really relish every moment we get to spend with our family and relish the love and laughter that radiates from our children and the people that surround them.
