So, these are the random photos from the rest of our week. Mostly, it's what we did with Zach while the girls were in camp. We took full advantage of the weather by being outside as much as possible. On this particular day, we were meeting my mom for lunch in La Mirada so we dropped off the girls and then headed to La Mirada Regional Park. I forgot to take a picture with my mom but she took us to a fun Shabu Shabu place for lunch! Hi mom! Zach sure loves his Halmoni. 😚
We spotted a remote controlled boat in the lake.
Of course, he had to have a closer look.
And then this nice man let him drive it around for a bit.
We also went over to Rich and Emily's one afternoon for dinner and swimming.
Zach and his cousin, baby Eleanor.
One day, we took Zach to Downtown Disney for some exploring.
The Lego Store.
Aquarium at the Rainforest Café.
We checked out Build-A-Bear and of course, he goes straight for Marshall the firedog, puts him in a red "firetruck", and starts playing with him on the floor. 😂
Sitting with his pals, Eeyore and Mickey.
We took the tram ride to the parking structure and back... not that we were parked there. We just wanted the free ride because Zach kept calling it the "train."
Fun fact: Zach's favorite character lately is Heffalump (the elephant from Winnie the Pooh) so he was extremely fond of this elephant.
See what I mean?
We had lunch with our little guy before heading back. #holyhumidityonmyhair 😝
We did some swimming in the evening back at our hotel. It was actually a luxury apartment that we rented through Airbnb and it worked out great as it was close to everything in OC and we had more room to spread out. #familyoffiveissues
South Coast Plaza for the $1 Carousel Ride.
So cheap, he rode it twice!
Then we headed to Bakersfield to hang out for a couple of days with more family. #cutiepies
I wish I had taken more pictures but sadly, the only pictures I have of our time there was of Zach and Coco.
Coco is Christina's dog and she is the most passive and gentlest Golden Retriever you've ever met.
She even lets Zach be her master. 😃
Tug of war.
Victory!
It's always been love at first sight. Well, at least for Zach anyway. #zachandcoco
Look who we got to see? Grandpa (who now lives in Bakersfield) looked great and it was so wonderful to see him!
Morgan and Zach went to a skate park one morning and then spent some time in the pool. Since it's pretty hot in Bakersfield (over 100 degrees like home) the girls and I mostly stayed indoors, played games, and just visited.
And that concluded our week away! A fun-filled experience where we got to see our sweet family, too.
After a week away, can I just tell you how AMAZING it was to sleep in my own bed (without a toddler kicking me in the gut constantly?). Zach's beginning to be a better traveler (he did awesome in the car!) but his nighttime game could still use some work. Traveling with a toddler isn't always easy but it sure makes home feel that much sweeter!
