Week of the leak

We had a leak in our kitchen that did a lot of damage to both the kitchen and Tatum's room so we headed up to Irvine while repairs were being made to our house. We took this opportunity to enjoy Disneyland with Jenny and Mattie for the first time.

Tatum loved the little umbrella that came in our pineapple drink, yum!

She also helped navigate us through CA Adventure since it was our first visit. She's wonderful with a map. :)

We had two fun pool days while we were in town. Here we are enjoying the cold pool in Woodbridge with Leanne and Isaac as well as Jenny and Mattie. (apparently they were to start heating the pool the next day)

Mattie wasn't put off by the cold, she got right in, hair and all! She even showed us how she can jump off the side!

As you can see, Tatum is a different kind of pool girl. She enjoyed jumping off the side, wading in her tube and showing Mattie how to float in floaties. All done without getting a single hair wet.

Then we enjoyed a morning at the Santa Ana Zoo which we had never been to before. Here Mattie is driving the broken down jeep while Tatum looks on in concern since she doesn't have a map. :)

I think the turtle statue was Tatum's favorite!


And then we hit Disneyland once more with Jenny and Mattie as well as some friends from San Diego. We had to go on the Up and Down of course.

And the girls all loved the Winne the Pooh ride and doing a little shopping in the Pooh store.

We had one last day before heading back to San Diego. It was so sunny at the house that we decided to have a picnic on the beach! But when we got there, the sun was no where to be found. Tatum had no interest in getting near the water and wanted her sweater put on. This is what she thought of the beach. Brrrr!

Eventually the sun came out and we were able to enjoy the Balboa Fun Zone. Tatum tried to talk us into going on the Ferris Wheel but as soon as she saw the Up and Down, that idea was out!

The wonderful week ended with some fun park play at the beach.

All in all, we had a great week away from the chaos at our house.
