Santa Anita Horse Races

This is the first horse races I have ever been to. It was so much fun. We live so close to this and drive by it all the time. I can't believe it took us this long to go! The boys loved it. It is the racetrack where the famous Seabiscut raced.

Long Beach Aquarium

It was a perfect day at the Aquarium. The weather was gorgeous, 82 degrees. We had gone the week before with Grandma Jill and Heather and it was pouring rain (sorry guys). So it felt nice to have the sunshine this time. We spent the whole day there looking around and enjoying the day.

Feeding the Lorikeet birds

Ellie loved the fish

Queen Mary. (What a bunch of cute boys)

Happy 2009!

We went down to the Rose Bowl on New Years Eve with our good friends the Bates. We got to take a sneak peek at some of the floats for the Tournament of Roses Parade. It is amazing to see these floats up close like this! They are gorgeous covered in all those flowers! (The picture below is of the Asimo robot float.)
