We've been going non-stop since she got here, which means we have had some cranky kiddos at times, but they've all been sleeping really well :o). Wednesday we went to the Jelly Belly factory. That was a surprisingly fun outing-the kids were entertained by all the workers and activity and Reggie was very excited about seeing a robot in action. We learned a lot about the history of jelly bellies. Did you know Ronald Reagan was a huge fan, so big that he had a special container made to hold them on air force one. My sister took some pics, but didn't bring her computer cord, so I'll have to add them later. That night, we all went to Ainsley's mommy and me class. They finger painted pumpkins and I'm so glad that was not at my house!
Thursday we stayed around here and went to the bookstore (a favorite outing for Reggie and Ainsley) and then went to the market after dinner. Liha spent most of the time running after maggie, but we had fun eating a snow cone and kettle corn. I bought the most wonderful flat of organic strawberries for $7! My sister is sick over the fruit prices here. We get Washington apples for $.67/lb and they seem to be much crisper.
Friday we went to the Oakland zoo. It is a lot smaller than the Woodland park zoo, but they had a lot more kid play areas and some different animals, so it was definitely worth visiting. Ryan met us there for lunch and took Reggie to the kiddie ride area to ride the train a couple of times while we took the girls home for a much needed nap.
Sat. afternoon, we headed to Six Flags Animal Kingdom. We could have spent a few days there exploring all the things there were to do. You can ride elephants, feed giraffe/dophins, go on water rides and kid rides. Our timing wasn't the greatest...by the time we got to a lot of the stuff, it was done for the day. We did go to the dolphin show and all the kids sat through it, a major feat :o).
Reggie was very interested in biker dude. He actually gave him a high five, but my camera was too slow to capture it.
Today we went to church in the morning and to the pool this afternoon. We finished the day off with a visit to McDonald's. They have $.49 cheeseburger's, so our family ate for $9, what a deal! Maggie had never played in the play area and she had a ball!

Sounds like you guys are adjusting to life in CA! I'm so glad Reggie's biopsy came back A-ok! It is so tramatic for them to go through that then have to go back the next day! I've had to hold Lach down all by myself when he was 6-NOT EASY and very difficult for me! Looks like you had a ball with Liha and Maggie! Keep up the posts-I hadn't checked in a while because of my crazy schedule of being a Mommy of two kiddos in school :).
ummm just reading your last post made me so tired! You guys are out and about so much. Good for you...and in a new place too! Can't wait until my kids are old enough to take on such fun outings!
I am also glad everything is okay with your little Reggie! What a scare!
