After some great time in Discovery Bay we were excited to drive down to Corona and Norco to see my aunts! So we hit the road early in the morning so that we could get settled into our hotel, let the boys have a quick swim and then head over to my aunt's house. And oh the fun we had!!! AJ still asks me if we can go back to "the farm" as he calls it. :) True their neighbors had a bunch of animals and free space to explore and the boys loved every minute of it! Plus they were spoiled by both my parents and my aunts with a bunch of fun activities and toys to play with. We just loved seeing everyone as we had not seen them since we moved away from CA. Visiting and hanging out made those couple of days fantastic!!!!
As soon as the boys saw their backyard they HAD to explore!
AJ checking things out
Jake did some further scouting for his brother
My mom, Ryan, Aunt Joanie and my dad looking around and making sure the boys did not get into too much trouble :)
And they are off...this is what they spent most of their time doing...just running all over the yard! I think these boys had spent too much time in the car. :)
AJ loved feeding the goats
See Jake beneath the palm tree? :) He is enjoying the view
There was this awesome bush that made the best clubhouse and the boys had a ton of fun in there.
The boys enjoying running on the long and into their bush clubhouse
You can see the proud look on AJ's face...he just gave my Aunt Joanie a lemon from her tree...the start of many lemons that were picked over the next couple of days
Jake LOVED his "order window." I think he was giving his aunts a big order here.
For dinner we had a fantastic bbq with all the sides you could want on their patio. It was delicious...
...and with our family we really enjoyed this beautiful view!!!
Dad and Aunt Kathy enjoying some good food, along with a special salad that AJ made by collecting leaves around the yard. (It was really replaced by a real salad but my Aunt Kathy told AJ that she used his leaves and he was proud the rest of the...well he is still proud and talks about it) :)
AJ loving on one of Aunt Joanie and Aunt Amy's dogs.
My dad was finally given back his old glove that his younger sister had swiped from him when they were kids :)
Jake thought it was pretty cool :)
Puzzle time!!!
AJ and Aunt Kathy showing off his picture
Then of course Jake had to show off his with Aunt Kathy too
Jake loved their dogs. The last time we were there Jake was almost one and had just learned to crawl, he terrorized these dogs. Luckily they seemed to get along just great now :)
The next day AJ was able to take a monster nap after having hardly any the whole trip...and he was just so darn cute!!!
The next morning we woke up at our hotel and went to breakfast. There we let my parents tell them what their big surprise was that we would be going to the next day. We were headed to San Diego to take them to LEGOLAND!!! They were beyond excited, so we went to the hotel lobby to get a tourist ad for LEGOLAND and they spent the rest of the day studying it :)
A fantastic view from our dinner in San Diego
Cute pic of me with my big boy
The boys enjoyed their dinner but as always enjoyed the coloring the most! :) Although Jake was introduced to popcorn shrimp which he now adores. :) Tomorrow...LEGOLAND!!!!!!
