We found a hidden spot that we didn’t expect to

We found a hidden spot that we didn’t expect to visit and it felt like we were in a different place. It had a trail among lush palm trees and the highlight was definitely seeing this Moreton Bay Fig Tree. The roots were crazy large! The kids were delighted and of course had to climb it.

Did you know that Balboa Park had so many amazing spots?

Looking forward to one day traveling to another country again. For now we’re dreaming of Seville, Spain by being in this garden patterned after the gardens of Alcazar castle.

Where do you want to travel to after the pandemic is over?

We had a blast trying out our new sensory bin from @bridgingconnections_ece . This was our first sensory bin that my kids have ever tried and we are hooked! For my younger daughter it was great for her to practice eye-hand coordination while having fun. For my older daughter, it was pure creativity and play. They practiced problem solving skills while putting it together, plus it was a fun activity that they enjoyed for some sister bonding time!

Everything you see in our picture comes with this “Glow-in-the-Dark Star and Shimmer Simmer Sensory Bin”, including all the glow-in-the-dark and flashing items. The rice was carefully hand-dyed and pre-charged in sunlight for 4 hours for that extra glow!

The kids can’t take their hands off it and come back to play with it often! Looking forward to checking out more kits from @bridgingconnections_ece .

Celebrating our 16th year wedding anniversary! Val

Celebrating our 16th year wedding anniversary!
Valentine’s Day weekend is always special for us because we were married on this weekend. Thinking back at those beginning years, one of the best thing that happened in our marriage was that during that first year, our pastor invited us to join a marriage enrichment class. We learned key skills on how to communicate and conflict well in that class that we continue to use today. Together we weathered through dark years of infertility and in the last decade we’re now parenting 4 amazing kids that God blessed us with. Although there are still may be challenges ahead, it’s so wonderful to have my best friend here to go through together.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Do you appreciate gorgeous architecture?

We took some time to admire this 200 ft tall California Tower and dome at @balboapark. It was constructed in 1915 is currently housing the San Diego Museum of US.

Designed by Bertram Goodhue, it’s a hybrid of styles including Baroque and gothic details and inspired from the Spanish -Colonial churches in Mexico. It’s totally beautiful!

There is so much to see in Balboa Park. It is free to enter and park. It’s a great place to walk around. There are so many noteworthy gardens.

Dreaming about our upcoming classes this month 🥰

My kids are really enjoying these @iwonderpod classes and look forward to the monthly boxes sent to our house.

Every month’s @iwonderpod box comes with class kits and gifts for our live virtual classes for kids. Each bag is a surprise that we open during class time. It’s so fun! We are loving this month’s love pod and can’t wait to start.

✨A beautiful destination at the end of our trail

✨A beautiful destination at the end of our trail🤩

Continuing on our Joshua Tree National Park posts, the popular Arch Rock trail is an easy 1 mile hike. It was not as easy to stay on the trail as expected and we accidentally strayed off it and got lost for a bit. We were thankful to see other people on the trail to help us get back on track. Reaching this beautiful arch rock was a trophy for us but it doesn’t end there. Around Arch rock were so many other beautiful and very interesting rock formations to explore and admire.

I really wanted to find the popular heart rock off this trail but my son scraped his knee badly and we had to abort mission. It was also hard to take my crew on an unmarked trail to find it. Has anyone here ever been to #heartrock at @joshuatreenps? Any advice for next time?

Tips for Arch Rock:

Tip 1: After you park at the Arch Rock nature trail parking lot you actually need to cross the street to get to the start of the trail. This was not very clear.
Tip 2: Wear long pants to avoid scrapes
Tip 3: When you reach all the boulders, swing left to reach Arch rock.
Tip 4: Give yourself extra time to explore this area. It’s worth it. 😉

Have you been to Arch Rock?

✨Getting ready for some headphone action! ✨
The pandemic has made a few items more important than usual. Headphones are definitely on the list.
It has been really loud at home, especially during study time with 4 kids and we’re really glad to be gifted these wireless kid headphones from @powerlocus . I’m looking forward to less sibling squabbles over the noise and more peacefulness. It’s cute in pink too.

Has it been loud in your home?
