Newport Beach Getaway

Posted on February 21, 2019 by Lindsey

We decided to spend a long weekend in Newport Beach over mid-winter break. It turned out to be a great way to get some respite from the unseasonably snowy February we got this year.

  • Legos with Uncle Brian
  • The kids loved the real fire inside
  • The neighbor’s (adorable) cat
  • A book about Newport Harbor Yacht Club’s first commodore, who, as coincidence would have it, was also the original owner of Grandpa Phil’s wooden boat, Synnove 3
  • It was neat to hear about some of Uncle Brad’s work on the City Council
  • Playing in the lawn
  • Uncle Brian’s place
  • On a morning walk with Julie
  • The kids were a little excited on the way!

The Reptile Zoo

Posted on February 18, 2019 by Lindsey

After the snow thawed and the roads were clear, we were more than ready to get out of the house! We went to The Reptile Zoo in Monroe one afternoon. Another we visited the Pacific Science Center.

  • Albino alligator
  • You’ve heard of baby shark. This is baby alligator!
  • Python
  • Softshell Turtle
  • Monitor Lizard
  • Tarantula
  • Chameleon
  • American Crocodile
  • Another day we ventured to Seattle to visit the Pacific Science Center
  • Layla was terrified of the dinosaurs
  • And Avery did not like this butterfly who tried to hitch a ride out on his jacket
  • Building tall towers
  • Silas loved the Gemeni Spacecraft
  • Here is a random picture from February which I accidentally exported to the wrong folder. So you get to see it on this entry!

Snowy February

Posted on February 16, 2019 by Lindsey

We had an epic snowfall this February, which resulted in school being cancelled much of the month. (Mid-winter break also fell between snowstorms, extending the days off.) I think we got more than two feet of snowfall and over a foot of accumulation! By the time the snow thawed even the kids were ready for it to be gone. But we had a lot of fun while it was here. Lots of pics below!
