February

Besides our usual routine, here is how we filled up our short month:

1) The kids were out of school on Valentine's Day so we headed to Disneyland with our cousins

FYI: It is hard for 2 adults to keep track of 8 kids at a theme park

2) For President's Day we went to Long Beach

Long Beach has a great aquarium

Everyone was brave with the sting rays and even had the chance to feed them

#3 was a little surprised when this one came right up out of the water

Getting a better look at the sea lions

"You are supposed to use these two fingers to touch"

After the aquarium we went to eat at a fun place called "Schooner than Later" right on the water

For your viewing pleasure

January

The month of January was full of summertime activities.  We went to the pool, the beach, rode bikes and even took a trip to Disneyland.  The best part was that we did most of it with cousins.
