She always looks so serious!

We met Aunt Nana at the park and the two besties had fun running around. It was so windy but the girls had fun chasing the bubbles.

We took advantage of Paul having a Friday off of work and went to Happy Hollow to see the animals. Lots of you may remember Happy Hollow as a kid, it opened up years ago. But after a recent renovation with new rides and a new animal center, Happy Hollow is a great place to visit with a kiddo.

Amaya loved the carousel and the kiddie rides that she was tall enough to go on. She climbed the jungle gyms with her dad close by and even leaned back and relaxed on the car ride. The goat exhibit was pretty cool but the lemurs and sheep were too busy sleeping in the sunshine to visit. The weather was gorgeous and all in all it was a great way to celebrate the final days of Amaya being 21 months!

A Playdate at the Sports Center!

Monday, April 12, 2010

Amaya and I met some friends at the California Sports Center for a fun gymnastics playdate. Since the kids are so small we mostly did stretches, ran around and climbed all over the equipment. Amaya especially liked the balance beam, hanging on the rings and being tossed into the foam pit!

Another egg hunt!

Sunday, April 4, 2010

We took Amaya to another egg hunt to celebrate the Easter season. This one was organized by a local church and held a community center that Paul plays basketball at. they had 5,000 eggs in a field and let the little toddler go first. Amaya was one of 4 toddlers who took their time in getting eggs although I did see Amaya double fist a few eggs to get them into her bag. She also found 4 Golden Tickets and traded them in to get stuffed animals and bubbles. We had a fantastic time!

So happy!

Heading to the prize table!

Egg Hunt #1

Thursday, April 1, 2010

Egg hunt number one took place at a Las Madres playdate. Amaya didn't seem to be too interested in the scene, I think we "found" about 5 eggs total! Her hair was crazy so you can't see her face in most of the pics but afterwards she crashed for about 2.5 hours.
