June update

Hello!

June is going by too quickly.  I love June because:

1. School is done
2. The campus is quiet
3. My drive is much quicker/easier due to school being done

I do not love June because:

1. Weather is warming up to be too hot
(that's pretty much it!)

Here's my June update:

Saturday, June 6

Playing with Leif's treasures from Disneyland

Before an IKEA run, we took Leif to a fun park in Burbank.

Sunday, June 7

Leif enjoying our new purchase from IKEA

 Saturday, June 13

We decided Miles needed a park run for himself-Leif had fun roaming around until...

I somehow managed to snap this photo of a cute puppy jumping up and licking Leif.  Pretty epic.  Leif was fine-he fell down on his bum and cried out a little, but then when I picked him up he cried to be put down so that he could walk around some more.  :)

We had planned a date night that evening, and I didn't get very far on this "Parent's Night Out" pad until Leif wanted to fill out the information.  

We bought tickets to the Cinépolis in Westlake Village-swanky movie theater with "leather" reclining seats, and dinner served to you if you wanted.  We saw Jurassic World-CGI dinos were awesome, plot and acting was terrible.  And we will probably never go to this theater again-too expensive!

Our babysitter was so sweet and she said they had a wonderful time.  He cried before bed, but I expected that with a new person.

Sunday, June 14

Can you guess where we ended up on Sunday?

With the Amazon gift card my Pa sent me for my birthday, I picked up a front facing and backpack-wearing carrier for Leif!  He's almost too big for front facing, but he was great on my back!

We stopped by Toon Town and waited in line to see...

Goofy!

This was his second character photo, but he was way more excited to see Goofy.  He was even trying to walk closer to him while we were in line.  :)

Couldn't leave without visiting Goofy's house and his fun piano!

After visiting the Disneyland side, we went to the La Brea Bakery in Downtown Disney for lunch.  Hubs took this photo-it's my Hibiscus Tea Arnold Palmer...it was yummy.

I was running out of things to keep Leif occupied while waiting for lunch-I ended up playing puppets with the Disney bag. It worked out for a little while!

Leif fell asleep after lunch, so we wandered around California Adventure for a little while.  When he woke up, he played in the water area in Bug's Life which was SUPER cute, but all the photos were taken on hubs' nice camera.  I'll probably post a couple soon!  After a quick change, we watched the Pixar Parade.

We wandered around Disneyland a little more, then decided to grab some dinner for Leif.  I was getting sleepy and wanted to leave, but Hubs wanted to stay for the fireworks show.  We ended up doing AstroBlasters and picked up a half-birthday present for Leif:

Since he knows the Toy Story movies now, he was super excited to see Woody!

After the fireworks, we waited out the crowd.  This is how Leif fell asleep, and I carried him to the car about a mile away.  My feet were killing me, but we made it.

It was a fun trip, but now that it's getting hotter, I don't know if we'll be making it out there as much this summer.  Our passes are good until next February, so I have a feeling when the fall hits and our passes are good pretty much every day, we'll be there more often!  Leif is one lucky boy.  :)

And I'll leave you with this last photo:

Today marks one year that Leif has been at Karen's Busy Bee Learning Tree Daycare!  Look how small he was-I can't believe a year has gone by this quickly!
