Mom & Dad days at Kindie
We are now with it, bandying around terms like 'Kindie'. Which, for the uninitiated, means Kindergarten. At least we got with the program before Y graduates Kindie, which he will in a few weeks.

First belt test
Both munchkins are going great with their TWD lessons. M prides herself on being the loudest in the class and Y is quite aware that is he is one of the higher belt students in their batch. It was M's first belt test last month and she did awesome.

Road Trip!!
First stop was Pleasanton to visit the cousins, after about 11 hours on the road. After a good bout of wrestling, giggling and a stop for mini-golf and water guns for about 1.5 days, we drove 8 hours to San Diego.

Our little princess was quite surprised that there wasn't 'sand' in SANDiego. And anna was shocked that 'Sea World' was actually all land. Dada was blown away by how overpriced snacks were at theme parks. But, overall, Shamu and the dolphins and seals had us spell bound.

Day 2 saw us visiting the real world - seals sunning themselves at La Jolla coves and tidepools of Point Loma - which left the kids a bit underwhelmed after the antics of Shamu. Pool time at our hotel made up for boring old nature, though!! Yohan got to celebrate turning 6 with some Mexican food followed by his first (dis)taste of flan.

 |
| Oh yeah, I'm six! (Don't miss the tie on his shirt :)) |

Day 3 was all about legos!
 |
| Yo and dada faking smiles before a roller coaster ride. (Nice t-shirt dada. Or maybe your wife has good taste ;)) |
 |
| I may be six. But I now have my driver's license. |
Back to the cousins' place (with a brief stop in LA) the highlight of which was Yo getting to cut a birthday cake with them! Eleven hours and a grand total of 2400 miles later, we were back home.
 |
| Cake time! |
 |
| Thank you God for trusty, roomy, comfy mini vans for 40 hours on the road! |
P.S. Full album and videos to follow.
