Roller Coaster

Every time I take the boys to Sea World Asher begs to go on the roller coaster.  But we never can because Elie is to little to ride.  Asher will say, "Well Elie can just wait for us!"

On Martin Luther King day I took Asher while Elie stayed home with the house keeper to nap.  As usual when we arrived the first thing out of Asher's mouth was, "Can we go on the roller coaster?"  "Yes!" I said.  He was sooooo excited and couldn't believe this day finally came.  So we rushed through the park making a bee line for the roller coaster.  My heart sank for Asher when we arrived to see that it was closed for construction!

I promised him I would take him once it opened back again.  He took it really well!

Elie Recounting the La Jolla Farms Hike...

This past weekend Moi and I took the boys for a quick hike at La Jolla Farms.  It's a horseshoe shape trail jutting out with cliffs next to the ocean on one side and an ecological reserve on the other.  We saw a whale blowing water through its blow hole with its tail splashing, making some waves.  We also saw dozens of dolphins making circles, leaping out of the water and splashing.  According to a lady along the trail, dolphins were very common but whales were quite rare.  We were pretty excited!  And last but not least, on our way back from the trail loop we saw a bunny rabbit that Elie was very excited about!  We tried to creep quietly along the trail but of course he kept  his "safe" distance.

Zzzzzz!

Whenever I take the boys out of the bath, they like to curl up in a little ball on the bath mat with the towel wrapped around them.  Last Sunday after bath time I was in my room getting ready to take the boys to the farmer's market.  After a few minutes I noticed Elie was being awfully quiet.  I went to check on him and he had fallen fast asleep on the bath wrapped in his towel like a taco!
