Nicholas-Emeline's current best friend. They are super cute together and to start the week off we all went to San Juan Capistrano to a farm called Zoomars where they have tons of guinea pigs you can hold and feed, horses to ride, farm animals to feed, rocks to dig out, massive amounts of corn to lay in and train rides.
Emeline was so gentle with these little talking guinea pigs..feeding them and giving them cuddles.
Here is the corn bin. Slightly grossed me out but the kids had so much fun playing in it!
Our second day we went to La Brea Tar Pits in LA. We had so much fun. Seeing the awe of what they found here through Zackarys eyes was worth the whole trip.
They were really sad about the mom being stuck in the tar calling for her family on the shore. There is still tar coming up, it is really quite incredible.
Look at the nails...wow.
Our third day we went to a local place called Environmental Nature Center. There is an education room to teach you about animals we might find out in the nature while hiking and then there are tons of hiking trails and a butterfly garden. We had a nice peaceful time.
They loved the stream the best. We saw a lot of small insects and cool things.
Our forth day we painted rocks from Grandpa's celebration two years ago and wrote names of herbs, vegetables, fruits and sayings like "breathe, nourish, peace, etc...We then placed them all over our yard. This was probably my favorite.
The fifth day we took our kites to the beach and flew them. Emeline really enjoyed that. It was a very lovely day and rounded up our week of bonding and resting together.
