LONG BEACH, CA - Yesterday mommy surprised us with an after-school trip to the aquarium! I hadn't been in a long time, even though I'd been asking nicely, so it was nice to get to go. When daddy asked me what my favorite part was, I said, "Everything!"

There weren't too many kids there today, so Jake was able to get out of his stroller and run around a bit. We saw all the fish, got lots of stamps in our brochure, went to the touch pools, visited the sharks and played by the fountain. It was SO much fun!

After we were done there, daddy met us for dinner at a restaurant that was right next to the aquarium. I had pizza. Mommy had chicken and daddy had a sandwich. Jake had a little of everything - he's not very picky.

Thanks for taking us, mommy!

FULLERTON, CA - Today I got to go on my first real Kindergarten field trip! We rode the bus to Fullerton College. It was great to see all the different kinds of things I can study when I get to college. I even asked mommy if I could go straight to college after kindergarten - it looked like that much fun.

We wrote our names and future careers on our nametags that we wore for the day. I want to be a teacher, just like mommy and Mrs. Collar.

At Fullerton College we got to go to lots of different stations. I "drove" a police car, played the trombone, got my face painted, made funny faces, looked at a map of the world, styled some hair and lots of other fun things.

I really liked this field trip - our next one is to a farm, so that should be fun too.

TEMPE/PHOENIX/GLENDALE, AZ - Just got back from the annual trek out to Arizona for Spring Training. It was extra fun this year because LOTS of people came along for the ride.

Our group included our family, Morgan, Lindsay, baby John, Aunt Julie & Uncle Dave, Grandpa & Grandma H, Nana & Tata, Auntie 'Manda AND Grammy & Papa Little. There was never a dull moment, that's for sure.

We visited the Angels on Friday, the A's on Saturday and Uncle Dave's Dodgers on Sunday. After the Dodgers game I got to run the bases with Morgan - that was fun. (VIDEO BELOW!!!)

I really like the hotel we stay at - they have a nice place to eat breakfast and a swimming pool...what else could a girl want?

Hopefully the Angels play better once the REAL season starts - they didn't look so good when we saw them...

Go Angels! (and A's...and Dodgers, I guess)
