Friends, beach, parks, and adrenaline!

This past weekend my college roommate Trina came to visit from Arizona with her daughter Jessie! It was the first time I was able to meet Jessie and we had so much fun together with our little girls and the great California weather!
On the way home from the airport we could not resist the beautiful beach in Malibu as we drove to visit our old campus at Pepperdine. We had to pull over and play in the warm sand and waves (which were NOT warm) a bit!

This was Jessie's first time at the beach and as you can see - she loved it!
Shayla loved playing with Jessie and all her old baby toys we brought out for Jessie (what she is not my baby anymore!?)

Saturday we got to meet up with more of our college friends. Here we are with Kevin and his daughter Anabelle, me and Shayla, Tory and Trina and Jessie in Thousand Oaks. Anabelle and Shayla could not get enough of feeding the ducks at the park.


We also took the girls to their first amusement park trip to Magic Mountain. They both did so great and we had so much fun running around the park. There was a great kids area for Shayla to ride mini coasters, trains, etc.

All the girls at Magic Mountain.
Me getting ready to ride X2 - awesome ride!

Shayla absolutely loved Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, or Hop Hop and Quack Quack as she called them. It was the first time she had seen them on tv or "in person" and she bawled when they left after the little show they put on.
All in all it was a very fun weekend and I love catching up with past friends and meeting new ones!
