the Schrader 5

Yesterday was a lot of fun! The boys kept saying, "This is the best day ever." Okay, they say that when they are doing anything fun, but they clearly had a good day. We went to Universal in the morning. There were no lines so we got to do everything they love to do. They even got to ride the Flying Unicorn three times in a row. They were begging for fourth go at it, but Chris and Ethan were ready to move on! They got to see all of the super heroes ride in on their four wheelers for the first time. We have never caught them riding in after the many times that we have been there! After Universal, we headed to Tijuana Flats for lunch. The boys really like eating there. I think it may have something to do with the Pez that comes with the kids' meals, but I could be wrong! The boys crashed on the drive home. When we got home, Chris mowed the lawn and we got ready for our cook-out. The Eagney's and Dyett's came over. We played TV Scene It which was a lot of fun. The kids had a good time swimming and running around.

This morning I tried to take Hanzie for a nice long walk. I tried to go early before it got too hot but all of my planning just backfired. As soon as we got outside we got swarmed by mosquitoes. It was really quite disturbing. We only made it a outside of the neighborhood and then turned right back. Hanzie looked like he had black polk-a-dots all over him. Next time I know to wait until the dew dries. There is a fine line between when that happens and it gets too hot! We came home and jumped in the pool with the girls. No bugs in the pool screen! Perhaps we could walk laps around the pool!

Here Noah is waiting in line for the Dr. Suess Train. His hair got wet on the One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish ride so it's looking a little crazy.Here the bros are in Suess Landing.
