V-Day

Kalli was so excited to take her Valentines to school todayand to get them in her decorated kleenex box too

Sweet sisterly love

Nate took us all to Salt Creek for a little picnic with Chinese food from one of our favorite spots.

We did a little ice blocking too. The kids had a blast!

We ended the night with some yummy Donna B's cookies and treats. It was the perfect Valentine's date. Thanks Honey, for making it so special!

Experiencing the Rainforest

We've never taken the kids to Rainforest Cafe, so we thought it would be fun to go to dinner there before Nate went to Monterey for a few days.

Treyvan was in awe, taking it all in. Kalli thought is was pretty cool to sit next to the water fountain and to have thunder and lightning while we were eating.

Trey did great until he spotted the gorilla to our far left. He started crying and wanted me to hold him. Once he settled down, Nate wanted to show him the large elephant - he wasn't sure what to think about that either.

Next, we did a little window shopping at South Coast Plaza, since I usually don't shop at Prada, Louis Vuitton, Armani, etc. It did make us wonder how these places stay in business, there was no one in them! Anyway, we crossed the bridge to one of my favorite stores, H&M (much more in my price range :) then called it a night.
