Fun, Fun, Fun!

Have I told you yet how much I love summer? Like, maybe every post?!?!?! Well I do. I LOVE summer. Don't get me wrong, the fall with the changing colors (whatever minor changes we get in So Cal), holidays and hot chocolate, winter with the "cold" and rainy day fun, summer is my fave. Because it's my kid's fave. And anything that makes my kids happy, makes me happy :) What a weekend we had, it was just so much fun. It all started Friday with a trip to Chick-fil-a for lunch - not just any day, Cow Appreciation Day! What does that mean? It means mom's everywhere put together some sort of cow resembling attire, pile everyone in the car and head straight to Chick-fil-a for FREE FOOD! We haven't gone to Chick-fil-a much lately, so the kids were elated that not only were we eating the food, but we got to PLAY there too. Oh what simple things bring joy to these little faces :)

.

The things we do to our kids. I mean FOR our kids. Scratch that --> the things we do for free food!! ;)

After a brief rest period at home, we once again piled into the car, this time headed to the beach! We met up with our friends for a fun afternoon/evening at the beach, complete with a pizza delivery, thanks to our friends Josh & Ana Martinez and Lorenzo's Pizzeria - yum!! So blessed to know these ladies and that our kids have been able to grow up together - I stared out towards the water at one point just looking at all 8 of our kids(ok, 7, little Sophia is still a newbie), playing in the sand and splashing in the water together, having a blast (well, mostly) - so much fun!!!

.

Melissa is a master beach hole digger (yes, that is the technical term) and sand bench making queen - the kids had so much fun setting around eating their slices :)

.

So lovely to spend an afternoon/evening with such great friends :)

.

Saturday morning we headed up to Menifee with our friends the Davidsons! We had such a blast at the splash park, swimming and riding the waterslides - what fun to share this place with friends - I can't believe we didn't get a single picture!?!?!?!?! Guess we just have to go again soon :)

.

Once we got home from Menifee and Daddy headed off to work, the kiddos and i took a drive to the local El Pollo Loco (what can I say, I'm a sucker for a coupon) - I asked for 2 small dipped cones, and this is what we got....GINORMOUS!!!

And Sunday? Well, Sunday deserves a post of it's very own......
