Two weeks ago I won a radio contest (yea!) for 2 tickets to Hurricane Harbor in Valencia. We went yesterday and had a super good time. Mom-in-law kept the baby (SO helpful) and we brought a buddy of Max’s, Christopher, to double the fun. The park wasn’t crowded, the weather was nice, and the boys were very excited to be there. Christopher’s added bravery really helped when Max was feeling timid about a particular ride. Peer pressure!

Afterwards we went to Jan and Jeff’s for Emily’s 3rd birthday party. Great time with family and friends. Then Lucy fell right on her face and cut her upper lip and gums. Man, what a bleeder! It took so long, through the screaming and the blood, to figure out that she had not lost a tooth or anything. Thank you God. (She’s ok today.) Such a day!
