Fun Filled Weekend

We started our weekend on Thursday evening (Steve has Fridays off) in Down Town for a Taste of Long Beach. Vendors lined the streets with delicious goodies for us to taste! The kids enjoyed walking .. and dancing... in the crowd filled streets and mom and dad liked getting a little taste of everything the city had to offer! Here are a few pictures. I wish I would have snapped more... but as you can guess, I was too busy stuffing my face =D


Friday morning, Shae was ready for his first gymnastics class! It's a parent-and-me class so Steve and I also had a chance to jump on the trampolines and play parachute games with the little ones. It was so much fun and Shae really had a great time. The last half of the class is pretty much devoted to free time to explore the gym. I'm convinced this is Shae's favorite part of the day...





Kaia and the Pink Princesses had their very first soccer game on Saturday against none other than the Super Power Princesses!! Kaia seemed to enjoy the first half of the game a lot more than the last half. Word on the sidelines was that her attitude face looked a lot like her momma's. I beg to differ. Coach Steve did a great job on the field as well. Thanks to the whole family for cheering on #2 and donating to the bucket every time our team scored a goal... even when sometimes it was the wrong goal ;)


We rounded out the weekend with a trip to Knott's Berry Farm. We haven't been utilizing our passes very much this Summer. There was just too much other fun stuff going on! We started off in Camp Snoopy and were lucky to catch the first show of the day. This season's theme is a Spooktacular Halloween. We watched the Peanuts gang dance to silly spooky Halloween songs like Ghostbusters, Witch Doctor, Monster Mash and Time Warp... all of which the kids were hearing for the first time! Steve and I were rocking out!! We grabbed lunch at Coaster's Diner and the kids got a big kick out of the juke box. They danced to the Twist and Lollipop, lollipop oh lolly lollipop!! We also rode the train and got "robbed" for all our loot by the train bandits... Kaia's favorite part of course. Before we left, Steve and the kids cooled off by getting splashed on the Log Ride. Yes, I took a picture of the picture at the end of the ride because I really am that cheap!
