Fun Field Trips

Our outings this week had nothing to do with space, so they deserve a post of their own.

Reagan Library-Simi Valley
I love that we live close enough to some of our extended family.  The kids are able to have some very great memory-building experiences with cousins, grandparents, great grandparents, etc.  4 generations exploring the world together is pretty amazing.
The highlight was being able to go on the Air Force One airplane, although the kids were hoping the airplane would actually go up in the sky.
Ethan loved also seeing the Fighter Jet.  The museum is set up on the hill with a breathtaking view.

Crystal Cove Beach
My little sister Nikki was in California with a family that she babysits.  We were able to meet up with her for a gorgeous day playing at the beach.
Ethan loved playing with the sand toys and watching the waves. 
 
And drinking the ocean water and sand.  I keep wondering if he is ever going to grow out of thinking that everything should be ingested.
Brielle went right for the waves.  We were able to see some dolphins and she LOVED it!
The kids were so excited for some fun Aunt Nikki play time
Once Ethan got down to the water, I couldn't keep him out.
