Parks

We had lots of fun today! We went this morning to another great park in the area with lots of slides and swings and met with a mom that is the wife of one of Matt's co-workers. She was very nice and extremely helpful. I look forward to many more playdates. Then after Aria's nap we went to the neighborhood park where I got a few pics. Tommorow we have another full day of working out, playdates and shopping! Enjoy the pics.

Our new town

Well...it has been a week now and we are getting settled in to our new routine and new town. Aria is loving all the playgrounds and her new big girl bed. Our new town is beautiful, surrounded by mountains with snow on them this time of year and TONS of palm trees. On one of our outings we went to a local childrens museum. I put some pictures up here and you can see a couple of them I was having fun taking pics of the scenery from the courtyard of the museum. So far most of the people we have come across seem really nice and friendly and seem to really want to help. Our new home is quite a bit larger than our other home so it has been different learning to organize and clean the new space but it has a great layout and is fairly new so it is pretty easy to maintain which is great b/c Aria needs as much of my time as possible to go places and play which is all she seems to want to do. We still can't believe this is our new home and we miss our family and friends but we are also always up for adventure and are really enjoying the different things California has to offer us. Enjoy the pics!

They had a real police motorcycle that Aria enjoyed "riding"

The grocery store was so cute and realistic
