garden d'lights

we took an evening trip to garden d'lights because it's the thing to do. heath was being a real butt about sleeping and after being a fuss bucket almost the whole way there, he fell asleep moments before we arrived... so i actually stayed in the car with sleeping heath. it's all good though. here are a few pictures matt took.

country village

grandma and grandpa came to visit, so we decided to go to country village to look at the contestants for a gingerbread house decorating contest. if i'm being honest (and i am) it was a little disappointing. i don't know who had made these houses, but i think (i hope) it was not professionals. the good news is that i love country village with or without mediocre gingerbread houses. we got a new top knot hat for heath at the kate quinn store... top knot hats for life!, we saw some reindeer, beckett rode a horse, we had cozy drinks, and the grinch was there. beckett found the grinch terrifying, but not so terrifying that he wouldn't go up to get a hershey kiss because you know. chocolate. so... still a fun day? i think yes. 

pacific science center

we also went to the pacific science center with grandpa and grandma. phew... busy little trip! thanks for visiting us!

blueberry picking!

while grandpa and grandma were here, we went blueberry picking for the first time. it seems a little crazy that we have never gone before because there are a lot of blueberry farms here and the blueberries are so cheap! then i remember that i don't really like blueberries, and it seems less crazy. blueberry season is pretty short i guess, but we went at just the right time and the blueberries were abundant. beckett ate about 300 right off the bushes. probably, they should have weighed him before and after blueberry picking and charged us. haha, sneaky us.
