So yes, it is now December and I am blogging about September events. Such as life, well, my life anyway.
September was a great month! Labor day brought Kristi and Alcie and my brother Kevin and his now wife, Jamie out for a visit. We had a full house as you can imagine. We made it work and, hopefully, everyone had a nice place to sleep and enjoyed their weekend. It was certainly an eventful one with lots of activities and no down time. It all started on Friday night when everyone arrive. We had dinner and attempted to just relax, however, with 2 kids (loud kids) it was not a relaxing evening. We let them play until everyone was totally worn out and headed to bed.
Well I was not able to sleep well that night because I was having some "tummy" issues, which continued on well into the next day. This totally sucked because Saturday was the day we had planned spend at Huntington Beach and then down to Marina del Rey for dinner with my Aunt. "Tummy" issues really are not meant to be taken to the beach. I was miserable, but toughed it out for the sake of my family and friends! I really was not a ball of fun as I usually am. LOL! The kids had a blast and that is all that matters. I started to feel a bit better after we ate and I napped for about 30 min. on the beach (thanks Kristi for watching the kids). After the beach we headed to Marina del Rey to visit my Aunt. She lives right up the street from Venice Beach. We had a great visit, even though it was short. Sadly, I was not able to take any beach pictures...
The next day we decided to take a drive up to Big Bear Lake. Its amazing up there! Here are a few photos to recap our adventures..
To wrap up our weekend togther, it happened to be opening weekend at the LA County Fair...$1.00 entry...cant beat that :) So we woke up early, against our will. Apparently we take too long to get up, ready, and leave the house...you try getting 3 kids ready for the day, packing bags, getting dressed, etc...then you tell me if you can do it in a shorter period of time...Anyway, we got to the Fair shortly after 10am and it was already blazing hot. Ging and Jayden popped in to join us! Even though we did not stay too long, we had a great time!! It was nice to jump in the pool once we got home :) Thanks for the great weekend Kristi, Alcie, Kevin, and Jamie!!
