Balboa Park

Every Tuesday, different museums at Balboa Park offer free admission. This is our usual Tuesday activity, and so we headed there again yesterday.


This time we made a grand discovery - a fire engine in the parking lot! Braiden was stunned speechless.


Even a school bus was there! While other people tour the park and the museums, we sometimes spend more time on the parking lot.


"Hello?" Someone's cell phone rang.


Playing on the dragon.


Ancient Chinese fish traps at the Mingei International Museum.


Looking at the fish in the koi pond.

You can click here to see the rest of the pictures from our little field trip. By clicking on the "i" in the middle, you can get more info on the pictures.

A cute Braiden story: in the afternoon we went to the playground near our house. There was another little boy, about Braiden's age, who came over to take a look at Noah who was in the stroller. He was being good, not touching Noah or anything, just looking at him, with both myself and his mom hovering close. Well, Braiden rushes over, starts making noise, and comes right next to the little boy and gets right in his face. He says something in his Braiden-gibberish and points to his nose (his invented sign for Noah). It was hilarious! He wouldn't stop until the little boy left. It was clear Braiden was saying something like, "That's my brother! Get your own!"

What a GREAT Braiden story!!! =-D
So cute! You better write that down somewhere that you can pull it out later when Noah is "bothering" Braiden, and Braiden wants to send him to live with another family!!!! ;-)

Hey, entertainment by FREE things in parking lots!!! Works!!
Carlie and I used to give the kids "rides" on the coin operated rides at the mall etc......... without putting any money in! Then they discovered that the rides actually moved....IF you put money into them! ;-) So much for our FREE entertainment!

You live in SUCH a Wonderful place!!! I'm jealous.
Although, I do have to say that our weather has been Wonderful this week!!

Sennu - Thanks! And thanks for your help with figuring out flickr! I'm going to be using it now more. Haha, I get all my blog ideas from you. You are my blogger idol! :-D

Marsha - That's too funny about rides without moving! We used to do that too with Sennu's kids. :) Braiden and Noah won't know about coins for a while. :) Yes, enjoy the weather, I hear it's been nice! Of course, was it last year that you had snow close to May...??!

So funny, about Braiden and the little boy. Noah's lucky to have such a protective big brother!

Saina said...

Yes, that was very sweet! Of course, it might be more on the lines of "I'm the only one who can pick on him" - love. :D

No, not really, at least not yet...
