February Fun

We have two 3-day weekends in February! Its a great month! We usually camp during one or both of those weekends but we didn’t this year.  We decided to stay home and enjoy the down time.

But we did some fun stuff this month…fun stuff worth remembering when I’m old and have no memory!

We spend a morning/early afternoon at Newport with our best buds. We had nachos and corn dogs for breakfast and fun at the chilly beach in the afternoon.

Crazy that these 2 are only 9 days apart!!

We are lucky to live in this beautiful state…spending a day in February at the beach…as I’m watching my friends snapchats in Washington, Boston, Philly…where its snowing.

So also visited a local museum.  We drive past this place a few times a month…always saying “we need to stop there!” So we stopped.

I haven’t been here since I was Owen’s age on a class field trip. And to be completely honest I don’t remember much…if anything from that visit!  We were pleasantly surprised…our kids loved it!  Started with a visit to the live animal exhibit.  They LOVED that!

And made our way around the museum. Did LITTLE reading but lots of looking. The kids were entertained and thats all that matters!

It wasn’t packed so it was nice to be able to kinda let the kids roam…they knew to stay in the room and not leave.

We also spent a great afternoon at the Santa Ana Zoo.

This zoo visit was super short and PERFECT! The kids got to see lots of monkeys, like awake and swinging around. Isn’t it the worst to get to the zoo and all the animals be hiding and asleep! I usually hate zoo’s for that reason.  But this trip they were awake and doing great.

It was fun to get to a few different places for “day trips”.  Keep the kids happy and out of the house, didn’t break the bank AND were totally fun!
