Peg’s Journal

Our lives of late has been such a whirlwind of activity and escapade (I took lots of photos for your viewing pleasure). *happy clicking*

In the last 12 days:

- my mom, Sis, and Marisa came to visit. With Sis living in Texas and Mom and Marisa in NorCal, it was such a treat having part of the family here (minus Wil and Dad, who are on their second father/daughter trip braving the safaris of Africa). Shopping fests by day, slumber parties by night! It was such a blast!

- we hit up “the Happiest Place on Earth” not once, or twice…but three times! Yeah, we’re putting much mileage on our annual pass. Woo-hoo!

- we attended two weddings; Jennifer & Vu’s and Kevin & Tracy’s. It was Ashlyn’s sixth time as flowergirl (for Jennifer and Vu’s wedding)….she’s building quite a resume. I caught myself being a bit stagemom-ish when I motioned for her to smile and not fidget up at the alter. I should just be happy that she didn’t freak out or cry. hehehe

- we hung out with friends and family a lot.

- we went on our first family outing to Sea World. Spent the day with our friends catching shows, touching starfish, feeding sea lions, and generally having a grand time. With 18 of us in total, I thought we did a pretty decent job covering/exploring the park. My forehead, cheeks, nose, arms, shoulders, and back are now beet-red, tender, and sensitive to the touch compliments of the sun.

I’m tired and physically drained. I spent today laying on the couch….and damn, it felt good.

My kids have been so spoiled by all the recreation. After leaving Sea World last night:

Ashlyn: “what are we doing tomorrow?”
Peg: “you’re going to school.”
Ashlyn: “no, I mean after school.”
Peg: “nothing…stay home.”
Ashlyn: *disappointed* “AWWWW!”

Spoiled, I tell ya! Spoiled!
