Miss Purple Tiger

We went to Grand Park across from our home to see Mary Poppins. It was a summer movie in the park special event. While we were waiting for the movie to start the lady that was sitting behind us happened to be a friend of a friend and faced painted Ava's face. The lady is a professional artist and had brought all her make-up to paint the local kids' faces for fun while they waited for the movie to begin. Ava requested to be a purple tiger. It came out so awesome! Charlotte didn't want to get her face painted, otherwise I would have a photo of her too. Too bad Ava had to wash her face an hour and a half later to go to bed.

Homemade Kool-Aid Play-dough

Playing with homemade Kool-Aid play-dough. It came out okay, but this particular recipe that I found online I didn't like because the dough came out too sticky. I will have to try something a little bit different; plus the dough didn't really smell that sweet like I was hoping it would.

Cruising Dana Point Harbor

The kids went on their first boar ride around the harbor with Grandpa Claude and Omi. It was a beautiful day with perfect conditions. Grandpa even ventured out a bit outside of the harbor so that the girls could look at some sea lions and go a little bit faster than 5mph harbor regulations. We had a great time.

                            This is an infant vest. It's for 12lbs to 22lbs and Natalie still looks tiny in it.

                                                 Hold on Ava! We're going faster! Wee!

                                                            Charlotte: " Phew! They smell!"

OMG! Daiso!

Daiso in Irvine is like a Dollar Store, but only with Japanese items. The store has a lot of pink paint and a lot of little cutesy household things and the most important item: Hello Kitty marshmallows!

                                       Cute little boxes and stationary, gift wrap, bento boxes, etc.

                                               Anyone need a banana hold for their lunch box?

Heritage Park- Irvine

Heritage Park- Irvine

We explored a new park, Heritage Park in Irvine. It was so awesome. They have a little splash pad area that the kids LOVED, a giant play area in a nautical theme and a huge duck pond about 100 feet away. And it was roasting outside and hardly anyone was out playing in the splash pad area. There aren't very many parks in our area with splash pads so we drove about 25minutes to Irvine to try it out. The girls really enjoyed it and Charlotte keeps asking to go back.
