The beach in February

So, even though it's February, and a bit cold, we decided to head to the beach. When we got there, the weather was beautiful but very windy. We had a great time just walking around exploring and checking out all the tide pools. Madison & Jake both wanted to go in the water so badly, but we had to explain to the the difference between the beach in the summer and the beach in the winter. We had a great day. I included a video also of them playing around.

Rainy Day

I swear, as soon as it starts to rain, Jake jumps up and wants to get into his rain gear and go outside. So, that's just what we did. The ran, jumped, and danced in the pouring rain for about 45 minutes until Jake says "mom, my hands are freezing. Let's go inside." So we came inside, took a nice warm bath, got in our pj's and made some hot chocolate. Good times.

Zoo Trip

For Christmas, we were given a family pass to the LA Zoo for the year. So, a couple of weeks ago we went out and enjoyed a great day at the zoo. It was probably one of the best "weather days" to go. It was perfect. We were able to see the new gorilla habitat that they built last year. It was really neat to watch the gorillas play in this much larger area. And of course we had to spend a lot of time with the giraffes. Madison asked me to take a picture of her Raffi with his mommy and daddy. So, we did (see below).
