It was so great having mom out for the rest of the week. The kids had so much fun and so did Jared and I. I felt bad for mom because Nate had her sitting on the floor almost the whole time she was here, building towers, car washes, parking garages, and what ever else he had it in is mind for them to build. As soon as she would get back up on the couch to rest for a minute he would say, "Grandma don't you want to build with me," or "Grandma I need your help to build a blablabla." He sure did have such a great time with you ma.

Thursday Mom, the kids, and I went to the Dennis the Menace Park in Monterey. I was so glad that mom was there with me. I don't know how I would have kept track of Nate and taken care of Miley. This park is so big and there are so many kids that if you take your eye off of Nate for just a second he is lost in the sea of kids and playground toys and tunnels.
Mom took the first shift of following Nate.
And the she watched Miley while I ran around with him.
Nate thought I was chasing him so he kept busy moving from one thing to the next.
Miley had fun too, I think.
Then right before we left Mom and Nate played on the real train they have. Anything that involves a trains = heaven to Nate. He could have played on it all day if we would have let him.
He kept saying, "All aboard," and "I need to calibrate this or that." He is so cute. We got shakes and fries on the way home from McDonald's.

Here is a picture Nate took of us getting ready to go to the Aquarium on Friday. Once again I was grateful I had her there with us. We took turns watching the kids :).

Nate loves all the little gizmo's and gadgets.
Nate and Miley, doesn't she look thrilled.
They also have a new area called the splash zone, where the kids get to interact with ocean currents and other fun things.

Once we got home on Friday from Monterey we went to the movies and watched Wall-e. It is the cutest movie and has to be one of our favorites. If you haven't gone to see it you need to. Nate loved it. His favorite character is Mo.
Jared and the kids.
Saturday we had to say goodbye to mom, even though we didn't want to. We took her to the airport reluctantly and said goodbye. I guess Dad and the kids back home needed her too.
Hanging out.
