4th of July

Well we took the boys to my parents house for the 4th of July weekend. On friday we went to a festival in Santa Clara next to the International Swim Center with tons of 4th of July festivities. Luckily it was not that hot and the boys seemed to have a fun time. Then we went back to my parents house for some watermelon, ice cream and some swimming in the pool. The boys were so tired but with all the excitement they hardly napped, thus they went to bed by 8pm and we stayed home to watch fireworks on TV. I enjoyed watching the Olympic swimming trials more and forced myself to stay up to watch even though I was exhausted!! Here are some cute pics of the boys at the Santa Clara 4th of July festival...enjoy!!

Logan with Daddy on the Firetruck. We tried to get a pic with Dylan but he didn't want anything to do with the Firetruck...even though he is obsessed with Firetrucks. I guess he just got scared with it up close and personal...what a stinker!!

Here is Logan at the petting zoo with his cute little bunny. He was a little nervous at first but once the little furball was put on his lap he fell in love and didn't want to give it back. I think he is going to be asking for a pet bunny soon :)

We tried to get Dylan to pet the bunny but he seemed a little scared. Logan kept saying, "it's okay Dylan the bunny is SO nice". So Logan finally convinced Dylan to give it one short pet on the back.

Dylan loved the petting zoo but everything else at the festival he could care less about. But the one thing he LOVED was all the food. He ate his heart out and of course just LOVED the ice cream. I could not believe how fast he ate this entire ice cream bar...I'm surprised he didn't throw up. Well I guess he takes after me with his love for sugar...now if only I could get him to love his vegetables as much!!

Dylan eating more wonderfully healthy food...french fries in a cup. Again he ate the entire cup himself, except for a few pieces he shared with Logan. He is such a cute little piggy!!

July 5th we took the light-rail from Los Gatos to the CalTrain station in downtown San Jose and rode up to Standford University in Palo Alto. This was the highlight of the trip. The boys just had a blast on both trains and going to the train stations. Here we are at the Los Gatos light-rail station...say cheese :)

Logan getting bunny ears from daddy on the CalTrains ride up to Standford University. He had SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

Dylan heard the train horn on CalTrains and this is the surprised look I got.

Here is Dylan infront of the FROG fountain at the Standford Shopping Center. We went to the Standford University store to buy some swimming shirts and both the boys found little stuffed animals they wanted. Dylan got the FROG animal and Logan got the GIRRAFE animal!! Lets just hope they fulfill mommy's dream of being future swimmers for Stanford, he-he, he-he :)
