Lemus Farm
Asmaa absolutely loves horses!
Seymour Center in Santa Cruz
Water Parks
We've gone to at least 5 water parks this summer (some of them more than once!), but unfortunately I only had my camera with me this time.
Sky High
Sky-high is an indoor recreation center that is just full of trampolines-where you can literally "bounce off the walls!". They have more than one court (one where you can play dodge-ball on trampolines!) and offer "Munchkin Monday's" for toddlers--we've gone at least 3 times this summer:)
San Francisco Zoo
We were lucky enough to have good company at the zoo!
A day at the Beach
guess who? :)
Park Outings
Anna and her boys, Omair and Aziz, visited from Jordan this summer and we were able to meet at the park with our neighbors a few times.
Nusayba and Jana
Nusayba absolutely loves to get herself wet!
Yes, that was Nusayba's doing!
Asmaa is an absolute monkey--she just loves hanging from bars!
Jet-Skiing
We were invited jet-skiing by one of our community members along with many others from the community--we had a good time!
khala Anna--we miss you already!
A rare treat--savoring every lick!
Book-Go-Round
One of the other really fun trips we've been making regularly this summer (once every two weeks) was a visit to a used book store in Saratoga. Every time we went we would donate a few of our old books and purchase a tone more. The kids books were no more than 50 cents each and in perfect condition. It's a small store, but with a huge variety. Nusayba really enjoyed these trips and has really grown to love and enjoy reading--actually, being read to (which gets to me after a while!).
