What we do best..BE LAZY at a hotel :)

and after dinner, Daddy's assistant had to roll home his baggage!
Ok, maybe a little too much splashing and spa-ing it for the day...this was mid-dinner!
Note: Daddy had to pull out the crackberry so I can use the flash to take this picture on my iphone :)
Splashing around in the most perfect pool I have ever encountered!
You can walk in and out and never feel the "cold" or "shock" of the difference in air/water temperature!
Boo by the hot tub!
Then of course, we hang out by the pool... such is life!
Posing to show Daddy they actually can get out of bed, shower, and leave hotel room!

Another AndyZ concert!

They were excited that a) Sissy got to actually GO to an event, b) they got MORE AndyZ memorabilia because they already have all 4 CDs and DVD Available, and of course c) they got their picture taken with AndyZ!

Tutorial Session


In the spirit of Back To School, the kids got out some workbooks (on their own by the way!) and Maddie decided she was going to "teach" and "help" Adam prepare for Kindergarten. He's still got another year of pre-school, but you know, Maddie wanted to help him get ahead...

They are happily working together...for about 2 minutes...Boo Boo, a little unsure of himself, starts asking Sissy for her correct answers...

Boo: Sissy! is this the right answer?

Maddie: Boo Boo! When you are in kindergarten, you will need to use your own brain! Do you want your brain to be full of MY ideas???

Then, about 15-20 minutes later, Boo is done with this workbook stuff...

Maddie: COME ON BOO BOO! just ONE more page!!!

Boo: No.

Maddie: Do you want to learn?

Boo Boo: I DOoOoOOO (imagine his voice)... just not now.

Exasperated, Maddie tells him they can continue after dinner. HAHAHAHA To their credit, they took out notebook again today and did a couple of more pages. And I have a feeling it's actually helping Sissy more than Boo, she's having to read him the directions and then figure out if he's right or wrong since Mommy was given the "look"... "I am helping him MOMMY!" Sorry, Maddie!

Konichiwa Miya!!

New Clothes
(agreed to pink because Daddy has a pink shirt..and well, it was $3.97!)
Miya taking part in the action
Maddie thought it would be cool to get wet...NOT!
hmmm, let me try!
Someone "accidentally" slipped and fell into the Koi pond...good thing Chu B was able to fish him out (and it was pretty shallow!)
Posing for Chi
Automatic now for them to spot out locations for pics!
They even taught Miya to start posing :)
We met Miya and her parents in Walnut Creek...it was a beautiful afternoon/evening...weatherwise :)
Miya was a great incentive to get the kids dressed and out of the house!
