Tiring Week

Oh goodness has it been a tiring week! Mostly emotional. Almost all of our friends are going through something very heavy right now so we have just been doing our best to be there for everyone and then Ty, HQ, and I ended up with colds. Pooh!

Ty missed the kids and me so much that he brought us all to work with him one day. That basically means we all sat in the car while he ran in to each store, did his thing, and then we hung out together as he drove to his next stop. One stop he had was a two hours long. There was no way I was going to have the kids (or myself) sit in the car for that long so we drove around to find somewhere to play. Marina Del Ray apparently has a severe lack of parks (at least where we were) and fast food places with play places. So I whipped out my spiffy iwant app and found a place called "Under the Sea" 3 minutes away from where we were.

We went in to supervise Ty at one of his stops. HQ and Locke both wanted him to hold them the entire time so we figured we wouldn't go into any more stores with him.

"Where's Daddy?"

 We LOVED Under the Sea. It is an indoor playground. Everything in there was clean and safe. The customers didn't have that "creepy" vibe and it wasn't crowded. It also had the cute "under the sea" (mermaids, fish, etc) theme which I like.

Locke quickly made some friends.

Who can say no to bounce houses?

Izzy and this little boy were inseparable. They played "Mario Kart". I think he fell in love when he discovered she knew exactly what he was talking about and added other elements to their game.

Izzy telling some friends, "And here is my dad playing World of Warcraft. We can call it WoW."

Izzy's artwork. Consider yourself lucky that you get to see this. This is in her magic art book (thanks Jessica!).
Most of the pictures are too magical for just anyone's eyes. 

 We had some bird yuck on our windshield which was pretty gross. Izzy was especially offended by it. Ty decided to surprise her by going through one of those drive through car washes. We call it "the poor man's Disneyland". She loves car washes. :) It was HQ's first time, but she fell asleep right before it started. She didn't sleep much at all last night (which means neither did I) so I wasn't going to wake her up. Not even for a spectacular once in a lifetime event like this.
