California Day 2- Legoland

We woke up early the next morning and headed up to LEGOLAND.  The boys were so excited.  They love playing with Legos and were so excited to go to a place all made of Legos.  Hunter was a bit disappointed that not everything was made out of Legos.  They were so cute and so excited all day. 
One of Hunter's favorite things all day was building cars and racing them.  His little car was great and he won almost every race.  He came right home and has built a few different race cars.  He is trying to convince Patrick to build him a race track to race his Lego cars.
It was another great vacation day with these cheesy boys.

California Trip Day 1

We picked Hunter up from school and drove straight to California and our favorite restaurant.
 So happy to be in California.
 We headed right out to the tide pools to explore.  The boys could not wait to be in California.
We love the beach!  We were there at sunset and it was beautiful. 
 Mom and dad playing around.
 Cameron couldn't resist jumping right in.
 Such a beautiful beach sunset. A perfect beginning to a great vacation.

Projects and Fun

We have been having a lot of fun looking up projects and playing around together.  Hunter and Cameron are both so excited to do projects all of the time.  It is so fun coming up with new ideas for each of them.
 
 Building with marshmallows and toothpicks.  He loved making it taller and taller.  He put a spire on it and loved making a temple.
We made some baking soda explosion pans.
  The boys are a little obsessed with volcanoes and loved the color explosions they could make.
 We go through a really ridiculous amount of baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring. 
I just love these silly guys.  They are so much fun.
 Cameron got a great pirate dough kit.  Hunter loved shooting the cannon and Cameron was excited for more mustaches.
 I love the dynamic between these two.  They are best friends and want to spend every moment together.  We can never put either of them in time out without the other going right with them to keep each other company.  They are adorable together.  I just love watching them play and listening to their sweet conversations.  Seeing them together is the best part of every day.
 Hunter's appetite for science is never ending.  I love trying new ideas with him.  He is so excited and eager to try things out.  Have you ever put a bar of Ivory soap in the microwave.  It is pretty awesome and we are still playing with the results.
Cameron is my bubble boy.  He always loves playing with bubbles.  I love his little face in this picture.
Cameron loved his new bubble wand and loved stomping on all of the bubbles he made.
 We also decided to try dyeing celery.  I love his drawing of the project and the excitement on his face.  Every day he tells me this is the best day ever.  Today Hunter asked me if I thought anyone could be as lucky as us.  I am such a lucky mama.

Mustache Fun

These silly boys had so much fun with Cameron's birthday mustaches.  They were so cute and silly.

 Cameron is always drawing mustaches on his face and was so excited to actually have a real mustache.
Hunter decided to use all of the mustaches to make a beard.  I think these boys look pretty good with a little facial hair.

Cameron's Birthday

Cameron's birthday was so much fun.  I let him decide what he wanted to do all day.  He is adorable and so easy to please.
He wanted to get donuts and go to the park.

We spent a lot of time finding the perfect stick, catching fish, and throwing rocks.
Hunter and I made him this sign.  Hunter was so particular about what we would do with each letter he wanted Cameron to love the sign.  I think we spent at least an hour coloring and decorating it.
When I asked Cameron what he wanted to do.  I suggested a bunch of different activities and he told me a few times he just wanted to play with Hunter.  He loves his big brother so much.
Later that evening we met up with his cousins and grandma and grandpa at Peter Piper.
I love this picture because neither of them is actually playing the game.
Riding on the merry go round.
Celebrating with our Happy Birthday boy.
We are so lucky to have this little guy in our life.  He is busy, fun and absolutely amazing.  I love this little man with all my heart and cannot imagine life without him.
