Day at the park.... next door!

So this is the park.... next to our house!  They just recently opened it up.  You see, it's been done since February and well they just opened it up last month for use!  For months it literally sat there fenced in, mocking us.  Yes mocking us, okay well the kids, but you get the idea.  We are incredibly blessed to live next door to such a wonderful place.  This thing is 3 stories tall and the slides are like those slides that you ride at the water park that shoot you out real fast.  Let's just say that the heavier you are the ummm faster you go!  

This is the view from our house/park!

Climbing rocks

Pacific Grove has the perfect places to climb rocks. They also have the perfect tidal pools to go with it.  Since my mom, sister and Bryan (Papa) were in town we knew it was a perfect time to go!  The tidal pools are a great place to learn about the sea and it's creatures.

If you look closely you can see the hermit crabs on the rocks and sand.

Disneyland

For the past few years Disney has been offering active duty military a great rate on tickets to their parks.  We decide that since we won't be back on the mainland for the next 3 years, this would be a great opportunity for us to go and invite the grandparents, aunts and uncles to join us.  We were blessed with Mathieu's parents, sister and nephew; and with my mom and my sister being able to join us. We had a wonderful 3 days at Disneyland and I can't wait to go again when the kids are older, well at least the little ones are older. :)  Oh, my mom and I aren't in the pictures because well, we were the ones taking the pictures!  Enjoy!

Oh and if you were wondering how it went being 3 weeks post c-section.  It went okay, we rented me a push wheelchair so that I wouldn't over do it and I was able to nurse Caleb as much as possible.  I'd gladly do it again!  :)
