After her 1st day of Kindergarten

 Her after school smile has less nerves attached :)

Addison and I had a great time at Yogurt Story talking about her first day of Kindergarten.  It was a big change for her with a lot of new independence that seemed scarey at first, but I think she is liking it.  When asked her favorite part of her first day of school was "seeing mommy and Emmy again."  She made one friend, Makayla.

Kindergarten!!!

Addison and Mom
Addison is very excited and nervous about her first day of Kindergarten

 Her school

 She gets to share a locker with another little girl

This is a picture of Addison how we left her on the first day.  She seemed pretty excited until this point and gently said, "Mommy and had a tear fall from her face."  It was tough leaving her at the school at that point.  I found myself doing a walk by to make sure she was OK and going by the school in the middle of the day to talk with the lady at the front desk bc I was already missing her.
 The girls were very excited to tour Addisons new elementary school at Meet the Teacher night.

Addison and Emery wanted their hair done like Princess Anna from Frozen

Emmy's day out

 Emmy got to jump on the trampoline with Princess Elsa

 She loves to bounce

Emmy prefers protect the ball from others instead of dodge ball

Emmy has been missing her sister this week.  Kindergarten has started and preschool doesn't start for 2 weeks.  We heard rumor princess Elsa was going to be at the trampoline park.  Emmy had a great time at the trampoline park and really enjoyed the bag of skittles from Spider man

My best friend has finally moved back and its like our little ones have not skipped a beat.  They had a great time handing out with Rach while their mom and dad were house shopping.

Coronado Beach


We stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado on our visit to San Diego.  It was right on the beach and the girls had a great time.  It was fun watching all the beginner surfers and soaking up some sunshine.

San Diego Zoo and Safari Park

The girls really enjoyed the petting zoo

Tiger park

Emmys favorite friend the Pygmy goat
The Cheetahs get their confidence around crowds of humans from a dog friend.  I though this was really neat to see.
It was fun to watch the Cheetah run, and even better when she decided to rest right in front of us between runs




Both girls really enjoyed the Hippos.  This guy continued to swim by the glass with the girls and would swim along them walking

Hippo fun

The arctic zone 

The polar bear slept through our visit, but he was still an impressive sight to see
