End of February Busyness

The end of February was so busy that we didn't get too many photos. Our days were full of school projects, art projects, ballet/rock climbing/ice skating, time with friends and as much time outside as possible.

All three kids worked on some project for friends over a few weeks.
 



 

We scored two tickets just hours before Tiler Peck's performance. It was amazing.

 

Special time for Colleen at the Sea Center

President's Day Weekend

Riding from Rincon Beach toward Ventura has been on our bucket list for awhile. So we set aside this Sunday afternoon to tackle the ride. We geocached quite a bit and soaked in the amazing views



 


On President's Day, it was pouring rain, but we headed up to Reagan Presidential Library for their programs. There were many presidential reenactors along with crafts, music, and games.

SoCal Spring


Monday morning hike - spring has come early to Southern California!

 





We picked up a Moxi pass from the library so I could take Colleen on a special date there.
 


I didn't catch many photos from the Valentine's Party. But Amelia used her plasma ball as part of her box.

Austin used a build box with a spider jumping out for his box; it won the vote for personal favorite.

Our flowers are in full bloom.
