"Ewe Rock"
Today we visited the OC Youth Expo at the OC Fairgrounds. We learned about oxen and got to pet one which weighs almost 3,000 lbs!! We saw other animals at this year-round educational farm, including piglets just one day old, sheep, hairy goats, cows, and hens with chicks. Alexander was also able to "milk" a cow, plant sunflower seeds and brush up on his farming skills. We had a lovely morning together at Centennial Farms and look forward to visiting again!

Happy birthday Prima (Rebecca)
Today is Rebecca's 2nd Birthday! She had a Dora-Fiesta Party! and just like Diego, Rebecca's primo, Alexander, joined in all the fun. Cousins Mikey, Viana and Kaylee with Isaac and Ethan were fellow explorers too. The Birthday Girl and the other exploradores had an adventure-filled day where the parents made personalized Backpacks (thank you Abuelita!!) so that Mapa could help them find Estrellas, then to play music with flutes, cymbals and maracas! and then to Pin the Flower Pulsera on Dora, and through the Jungle (Gym) to the Piñata! There were hap' birfday hats, cake and ice-cream too! The exploradores had a fantastic adventure! Happy Birthday Rebecca!!!
more lizard!
hello lizard!
as long as we've lived here a lizard has shared our deck. we see him often sunning himself. no idea if it's the same lizard each year, but this year we have a new baby lizard. I spotted him last week but this is the first time Alexander got an up close look at him. Alexander insisted on saying hi (or "hi-lo" in Alexander-speak) and then proceeded to give the lizard some food after showing me how the cow would alternately eat the lizard and the leaves too!
to infinity and beyond!
we opened Alexander's new tent last night. pretty fancy with its cool connecting tubes and rocketship look! and the boy clearly loves it, as can be seen here as he chooses to eat his snack inside.
