Summer Play List

My kids made a list of things they want to do this summer before we move to Utah. Here is a few pictures of our summer fun.1.visiting the American Girl doll store at The Grove
and eating dinner at the "farmers market"
the tram ride
Hanging out at the Grove - and later dancing to the live music
2. Chuck E Cheese
3. Six Flags (Marissa's list)
My friend Heather and I have been talking about going to 6 flags for a long time. Jeff got home early one day last week we decided to go for it. We got there around 4:30pm and basically ran to each ride to try and get as many in as we could. For those of you who know me know i love scary rides and roller coasters. This is definitely the park for that. Kids are not really worth it until they get 54 inches. The rides were awesome especially X2! Lying on your back, going backwards, rock music in your ears, flipping over, diving head first, fire shooting up, fast, flipping and twisting through the air. Amazing- well worth the 1 1/2 hour wait! WOW! We did not get to them all but that just means i will have to come back another time Right?!
In one of the first lines I asked the kid in front of me where he got this cape and he took it off and gave it to me and said he did not want it anymore. I told him he was going to make some 3 year old very happy. They had capes for sale all over the park because of the Superman and Batman rides. This was the first silver one we saw. Nice guy!
4. Dancing
Girls with their Ballet and Tap Teacher- Jamie at the YMCA

5.Reading books and going to the library
Ellie's favorite book (picture taken at school) Pinkalicious
Jocelyn's favorite books are any Fancy Nancy books, also Junie B. Jones and Judy Moody
6. playing at Parks
this was just a fun free event I took the kids to- we went to the Burbank 100 year celebration with Radio Disney and booths and fireworks.




7. And Lots and lots of swimming in our pool and playing with friends
