Spring Break

This past week Dave had to work out of town so we decided to pack up the crazies and head down to socal with Grammy to visit Papa and play. We didn't get a lot of sleep but we had so much fun! 

First stop: Discovery Science Center
Levi playing with the dinosaurs.

Rawr

They had an entire floor dedicated to 'Bob the Builder' and Levi and Caleb loved it!

Grammy & Papa
 Even though we didn't go to opening day at Dodger Stadium (Daddy, Uncle Bryan and Auntie Alison did!) we were rooting on our favorite team with our blue.
Dodgers are number one!

Close quarters make for harder times settling down for naps. Make that impossible. At least they're having fun, right?

Next stop: Disneyland

Visiting with "Woo Woo Fire"

"Grammy Mater is right over there!"

Visiting Mater!

The Lockridge boys love them some snacks. Uncle Bryan found this corn on the cob and it was a hit!

And the popcorn was a hit too. Surprised? :)

Dumbo was a favorite. Even if we were pretty done waiting in lines.

Caleb's first time on Dumbo. He loved waving at all the people watching.

We took a break while brother was napping in the stroller. Did they conveniently nap at the same time? No way!

Levi loved Toon Town. Here he is answering the phone. "Herrro?"

Next stop: Manhattan Beach to visit with friends
We met up with four of my girlfriends and 6 out of their 7 (with one on the way) kids. There was a little too much going on to take a lot of pictures but I got this one of Stevie, Levi and Kylie playing in the sand. Levi loved the sand and the water and getting to play with all those sweet little girls. Next time maybe baby Timmy will be up for a little boy time! :)

This big guy was so awesome our whole trip. He showed how patient and helpful and kind he could be. I was so proud! Here he is in one of his patient moments while Mommy was unloading the car from the beach and getting Caleb all situated in the carseat. He likes to "drive" the car but he can't pretend until he first puts on Daddy's sunglasses.

Last stop: the Irvine Spectrum
We headed down the road to look at fountains, do a little shopping, have a quick dinner and, of course, ride the carousel. Levi decided he's pretty hot stuff with his carousel trick riding.

Caleb and Grammy took it a little more seriously, but still smiles all around.

 It was a great week with lots of excitement and adventures. The kiddos were fantastic (although we did have a few too-early-for-Mommy mornings) and we can't wait to get to go visit Papa again soon. Thanks Grammy, Papa, Uncle Bryan and Auntie Alison for all your patience and help along the way. We REALLY couldn't do it without you.
