Lemonade

 Our Meyer lemon tree is very prolific this year.  This is what's left after giving our neighbors grocery bag-full of them.  We harvested lots.
What to do, what to do with them?  Ah, lemonade!
I helped my mom out. 
I had mom mix a little bit of Country Time Lemonade so it'll get a pink tinge. Tah-dah!
Mmmm...refreshing!

Wishing for a swim

 It rained today.  I was a little bummed.
 I wanted it to be summer already so I can swim.
 To make up for it, I wore my bathing suit around the house and played.
These little guys hung out with me.  My mom and I planned on seeing the movie "Rio" for the second time, but we got lazy. So we hung out at home, listened to songs, and talked about many places we want to travel to.  Here are some of the songs we listed to:
"Samba de Orly" (Bebel Gilberto)
"Upside Down" (Jack Johnson)
"Take you to Rio (Ester Dean)
"Remind Me" (Royksopp)
"O Samba Tai" (Seu Jorge)
"Breathe In' (Frou Frou)
"Amber" (311)

Have a good week!

Mom's Day Project

At school, we made Mothers' Day presents for our moms.  Here's mine.  I painted the pot, the flower label, and the paper plate. Then my classmates and I put soil in our pots and planted tomato plants in them.  I hope my mom likes it.

Kayla's Birthday

Today, my cousin Kayla turned 3 years old.  To celebrate, we went to Disneyland.
Oh we're so excited!
We rode about seven rides including the Pirates of the Caribbean.  Whoa, my auntie and mom forgot to tell us there were two semi roller coaster drops in that ride.  We got scared a little bit, but we were fine.
Watching a marching band as we sipped our drinks while waiting for the Peter Pan ride, which by the way was awesome.
Just cousins.
My crazy grin.  I was the park map holder.  I like looking at the map and figuring where we are.
We saw Woody, Jesse, Cinderella, Jasmin and Alladin, and ta-dah!  Snow White!
Here are our tired mothers.
It was a long day for us.  I was pooped, but the birthday girl still managed to squeeze out a smile.
Happy Birthday, Kayla!  I love you!

Summer-like Days

 Fresh cut grass...wind chimes tinkling...soft breeze...flip flops...lemonade and ice tea...
lunch outside...sleepy afternoons...warm sun.. sunlight through the leaves...and a summer song.  Summer's almost here!
