Spending the Day at Santa Fe Dam

We spent the day at Santa Fe Dam taking in the sunshine, watching Sophia run around the playground, going for a bike ride around the lake, and running from very aggressive and hungry geese!


Riding the slide with Daddy.



Sophia got an up close and personal look at the geese!

Getting ready for our bike ride!

Taking a break to see more geese and get a sip of water.

Sophia Spelling Her Name

Sophia has started spelling her name, with a little help from Mommy in this video, but I can't take the credit...Daddy has been working with her every night on her spelling while she is in the bathtub.

We were out to dinner tonight in Monrovia and spelling seemed to be a good idea to pass the time while we waited for our food...of course watching the buses drive by is one of Sophia's favorite things to do as well...as you'll see.

Climbing, Exploring and Discovery at Kidspace Children's Museum


The Raindrop Climber

Sophia and Daddy climbed all the way to the top!


Riding, climbing, and sliding in Kirby's Kids' Corner.


A walk through Willow Terrace with Daddy.

Sophia stops to smell a flower in the Bee and Butterfly Garden.



Rock climbing with Daddy and playing in the Root Wad playground.



We found turtles and waterfalls in The Wildlife Pond.

Flowers greeted us in the gardens as we walked along the paths.

Sophia discovered electricity in the Kaleidoscope tunnel.


And of course, no trip would be complete without a
souvenir stick to bring home!

A Day with Friends

We were up early and out the door on our way to Corona this morning to see a very good friend of mine from college. It's spring break for the kids and Sophia had a blast playing with them at the park...which gave us mommies time to catch up as well!

Visiting with Great Grandma

Today we visited with Great Grandma Allen.  Sophia not only entertained Great Grandma, but the other residents in the lobby as well. She danced and laughed and showed off her baby doll and cool stroller. She even got a ride on Great Grandma's lap!
