Balboa!

Monday my dad took the day off work so he could spend it playing with us down at Balboa. We took the ferry over to the peninsula, which I had actually only done once or twice before. It's a fun little free boat ride. The kids loved it.
The kids went on the carousel and Auntie Jules was sweet enough to take Talia on her first carousel ride! She was so cute and made noise the whole time. They had these little mini horses that were stationary, so it was perfect.
We also went to the arcade for some good old skee ball. I loved it! The boys did a couple little games and rides too, then they played a game of air hockey. It was hilarious watching Weston and Davin battle it out (slooowly) in air hockey. Weston won, but Davin got a couple points on the board too. Good things we had some tickets so the boy could pick out a prize because Davin was on the verge of a meltdown when the air hockey game was over. I think it was his favorite. Davin picked out a rainbow slinky and Weston got a pair of play handcuffs. Oh my that boy was in heaven. Arresting everyone, locking himself to the stroller . . . ready to play cops and robbers.
We stopped for a slice of pizza then we rode the ferris wheel. Auntie Jules is the best and took the boys with her so Ian and I could enjoy a kid free ride. It was a gorgeous view and a beautiful day.
I couldn't believe what a trooper Talia was. She didn't fuss or cry. She just hung out in her stroller and chewed on toys and watched all the commotion around her. She's such a good baby. We took the ferry back to the car and drove around to where we were renting a little boat for the rest of the afternoon. We cruised the harbor and looked at all the beautiful homes. Mom had packed a picnic, so we ate on the boat and touched the water.
By the time we got back in the car we were all exhausted from hours in the sun and wind. The kids got a nice nap on the way home. What a fantastic day! Thanks Mom and Dad!
