HB Weekend

Mike taught a training in Irvine last week so the kids and I drove up to HB to meet him. We swam in Grandma's pool and then went to Ruby's on the pier. From our booth, we got to watch the amazing sunset and we even spotted a small pod of dolphins. A balloon man came around and tied some balloons for the kids. Aubrey requested a monkey, Connor got a dragonfly and Aaron got a spider. Too bad they didn't last. They were pretty cool.

I loved watching the kids expressions as the balloon man created their animal. Aubrey was so transfixed. And Aaron and Connor both smiled with anticipation. Aaron who is normally very much afraid of balloons handled the situation with ease. I was so happy for him. Here's a kid who in the past, has been brought to tears by balloons at birthday parties.
