Kellen & Hailey Beach Playdate

A friend of mine, Brooke, came down to visit from Idaho. We had a veyr busy, fun weekend! One part of the weekend included a trip to Santa Monica Pier. We let the kids loose on the sand and let them have at it!

Here are some pictures from the day:

Then the throwing of the sand started:








Then the eating of the sand began


Hailey is officially a member of the I Eat Sand Club

LA County Fair 2009

We went to the fair today with Jenn & Aidan. Hailey really seemed to enjoy herself even with the heat. We were there for a short time. However, we made sure we stopped by the petting zoo & the pony rides.

I am so happy she isn't afraid of animals. She was excited to see all the goats & deer. There was a kangaroo there which was so cute. One of the deer kept trying to eat my dress. It was hilarious!

Hailey also had her first pony ride. She wasn't sure at first and then once the pony walked away from mommy, she instantly cried! Hopefully as she gets older she will like it more!

Here are the pictures (I tried to get some good ones of the petting zoo but since Hailey doesn't walk it was hard to have her pet them & take a pic since I had to keep a hold of her):

Let's pet some goats!

Playdate at Kidspace Children's Museum

Today we had a fantastic play date at Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena. I have been wanting to take Hailey to a place like this for a long time. I was excited to finally go!

We met up with some friends Suzie & Leo, Alice & Tessa and then Gaby & Andy came a bit later to join the fun!

Here are some pics from the today. I took a lot because the kids were having so much fun. And of course I posted tons because it was hard to leave some out!
