We had quite a busy weekend filled with fun things to do. It began with a spur-of-the-moment trip to Spectrum on Friday night. Ethan hasn't been there since he was little so it was a whole new experience. We started at the fountain because it was still crazy hot.
Ethan was fascinated but had no intention of jumping in with the big kids without some serious observation.

This was a close as he got without some help from Dad.

After the fountain we went in search of dinner but we took a detour when the train went by. Ethan was so excited and wanted to chase it down.

We bought tickets but the moment we entered the car Ethan decided that was enough and frantically started saying "All Done! All Done!" We proceeded with the trip but he was not happy about it.

By the time it was over he was enjoying himself even if he still wasn't sure about the whole thing.

While we were on the train ride we happened to see the Smiths and had a great time catching up over dinner at Corner Bakery. Liam and Ethan hit it off and were instant pals.

As we were leaving we took a family pic in front of the carousal. That ride is on our list for the next trip to the Spectrum.

The next morning we took a little boat ride with Brydens just off of Dana Point. This was Ethan's first trip on a boat that did more than casually float. He wasn't exactly sure about this either but the presence of his buddy Ezra certainly helped out.

His favorite part was when we came back to the harbor and cruised around and admired boats. He is so taken with older kids and is in awe of what they can do. In this picture Ethan and Ezra are making funny sounds and cracking each other up. I love it. :)

That night our small group had a pool party at the Titov's new house. The water was COLD but Ethan couldn't get enough pool time with his dad.
They have a great backyard for all sorts of entertaining and games and Ethan never stopped moving the entire time we were there. What a blast! By the time Sunday rolled around all we could handle was church in the morning (Rock Harbor launched the first weekend service in South County!) and naps in the afternoon. Great weekend!
