Beach

After the park, we still had some time before the guys were going to be finished golfing, so we went to the beach. There was a storm coming in, so there were big waves. Chloe kept saying that the "water is jumping!" Love that girl!!! She had fun digging in the sand and getting covered in it. Thankfully, she is obedient and did not try to go close to the water after we told her not to.

Dennis the Menace Park in Monterey

On Monday morning, Andrew and his dad went golfing, so Elaine and I took Chloe to the park. There is this huge park in Monterey called Dennis the Menace Park, and it was so much fun!!!

Chloe is scoping out the park from the middle of a high bridge

Chloe absolutely loved this roller slide.
She made a little friend, and they went down this slide so many times!!!

looking for her friend!

this slide was also a big hit!

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Andrew, Chloe and I took a weekend trip with Andrew's parents to Monterey. My friend Janis very generously let us stay in her house, and she and her boys moved out for the weekend. It was so nice being in their house for the weekend, as Chloe could be in her own room and there were tons of toys for her to play with. So much easier (and cheaper) than staying in a hotel!!

On Sunday, we spent the morning at the aquarium. Chloe loved it!!!

Lawn Mowing

Chloe loves to help her Daddy!!!

Happy (2 1/4) birthday!!

This year for Chloe's birthday, we decided to have a combined birthday party with Chloe's cousin, Devin. He will turn 3 next week, and Chloe has gotten over her fear of presents after all the craziness at Christmas, so it was time to celebrate! We had their party at Fliptastic, where Chloe, Devin, and Shae all go to gymnastics. It was a fantastic party! I loved that the staff did most of the work, so I was able to play and take pictures and enjoy the party.

Chloe is very serious about climbing over this mat

fun in the foam pit with Daddy
