Sunday we went to the Cube in orange county. It is a science/children's museum. They had a cute little dinosaur show, lexey was called up to be a volunteer. We rode a helicopter simulator through an Irvine nature reserve very close by. the kids played in the "store", there was a great dinosaur exhibit. Calvin was very grouchy for much of the trip but enjoyed a few mintues of the museum. Finally for the last 45 min or so I sat with him in the car so the girls and dave could see a few things.
Then we went to medevial times. once again Calvin was not enthusiastic, but of course everyone loved it in the end. The girls were very concerned about the fake sword fighting and the fake deaths of the various knights. The were gasping, covering their eyes, and near tears. They are funny adorable little girls. Dave and I ordered the vegetarian meal which was a huge improvement over the traditional feast of 1/2 a chicken. I can't even imagine how many chikens they waste.
On the way home from orange county Dave made an impromptu stop at the beach in San Onofere. We paid $15 to park but it was so worth it to just drive right down to the beach and park and have the place to ourselves and not have to worry about walking miles as you normally would on memorial day weekend. The kids played int he sand, clare and dave went on a walk. We were there 5:30-7:30. It was beautiful. We stopped at in-n-out on the way home and then everyone was in bed by 8. Great day
Monday we went to breakfast at IHOP, bowling with Bob and Kari and then up to the Larsens for dinner. The kids loved playing with the Larsen kids and running around up and down the giant hill in the back yard. It was a great family weekend together. Thanks to Dave for spending all of his free time with us.
