Nikolai comes for a visit

Jake's good buddy, Nikolai, came for a visit last weekend from Manitoba! The boys had lots of fun playing together (aka making a big mess), having baths, and watching Thomas the Train! Nikolai taught Jake some new tricks including how to drink water from the bath tap - that created lots of laughs! Boy, do we ever miss Nikolai and his parents, but we are thankful we got to have a visit. Hopefully we will be able to have another one sooner than later!

California

Nonna and Grumpa took myself, my sister, Jake and Chloe to California! What an amazing vacation - we stayed in Temecula, San Diego and Anaheim! We hit up the San Deigo zoo, lots of pools and spray parks and Disneyland. Jake was really well behaved and slept through the night the whole trip.

Jake loved hanging out with his family, the warm weather, swimming, and the zoo. The highlight of the trip was at Disney - seeing a real size Lightning McQueen and Mator from the movie cars (his obsession)! Grumpa must have gone to all the stores to make sure he now has all the car characters. Lightening and Mator were also in the Disney Parade and he was sooo excited! He also enjoyed going up to the Disney characters, talking to them (who knows what he was saying) and giving them a hug. Thanks mom and dad for an incredible trip!

Here are a few pics from the trip - between the 3 cameras we had we have hundreds of shots so it was hard to just pick a few....
