our CA trip in May

So this is like 2 months late! oh well!

Here are pictures of some of the little day trips we had while spending 10 days out at my parents house in California. We had a blast. i wish i didnt forget my camera while we were in fresno for Julie Cattons wedding. She sure did look beautiful. Delila loved seeing her good buddy Jonas! they are so very cute together. maybe my mom got pics? But we had such a blast and cant wait for next summer. We also stayed one night with my Grandparents in Minden NV. We had lots of fun there also......... and now for the day trips.

This was at the Children's Discovery Museum in San jose.

If you live near this area DO go with your kiddies. Delila loved it so much. The best part is they cater to each age group. and i will tell you more about that in a second.

this little girl behind delila was a twin. her sister was so cute and then another set of twins walked up. now this area they are in is only for kids under 3. so all the little ones were there at the same age and played.

Again this was and under 4 age group room. they had paint, sand, tunnels, story area and more. Delila really had a great time here. We also went to an area where we could build corn husk dolls. She was more into the pretend grocery shopping in that room.

Now another day we went to the Jelly Belly Factory.
They give free tours here and you get free treats at the end. of course we had to go to the gift shop and buy us a huge bag of belly flops. belly flops are jelly belly beans that are miss shaped or have two stuck together and so on. I didnt know if delila would have much fun here but she sure did. she loved to look in the windows watching all the factory workers hard at work. Rich and i learned some interesting facts as well.

sorry pics are outa order. this top should be the last!
you have to wear these hats at all time.

Next up... The BEACH!!! it was very overcast and windy. so we were a bit cold. but that didn't stop delila or richard. i enjoyed relaxing there. They had so much fun playing in the sand and water. i didnt get pics of them in the water because i got some video. sorry. delila loved playing in the sand but hated when it was time to clean her up! oh boy! haha they need to make a special sand repellent diaper.

This day Delila and i were waiting outside for Grammy to get home so we could leave to Fresno. so these are the only pictures i have from that day/weekend.

My favorite corner of my parents yard! I have had many , many pictures taken right here.

sittin so pretty miss D

Here we are on our Drive out to California. Delila was Perfect. She didnt cry a single time there are back! She seriously loves to draw and color. these doodle pads are THE BEST! this occupied like a couple hours of her time. She watched a couple of movies and......

She also did a lot of this. We left at 5 am so we could get to my parents at a good hour. we got there at 5ish so we made great time.

so precious. look at the wacky hair.

Well California summer trip 2009 of may was super fun! we cant wait till next year!!!
