A month in CA

Colin and Mommy have been in California for over a month but Daddy got here late so September was the first full Rybarczyk family month.  It was a busy month.  We went to Legoland a few times, the beach, started preschool and finished the month with a visit from Yaya.

Here's our big 4yr old Preschooler

Colin was reporting in that each day was "A great day at school".  He was going 3 times a week, up from twice last year.  Since he was enjoying it so much we didn't see a reason to not have him go the full week.  He's been coming home each day with pattern math or motor skill artwork or things for letters.  School seems to be going well overall.

And then there's Legoland.  We weren't sure how he'd do at an amusement park.  Would it be overwhelming, scary with so many new things, tire him out too quickly???  Legoland is perfect for him, especially with the year pass.  We can go for how ever long he last, which is usually a few hours.  There is a little aquarium and water park as well as rides and lego building fun.

Our little tour guide through the aquarium

Plenty of stuff to climb on and pose for pictures with

One of the cool things is that there are play areas built into the lines for rides.  Waiting isn't as painful.

Colin has now driven a boat, car, airplane, helicopter and train.  He very serious behind the wheel of a car.

October should be fun at Legoland

We strolled around the train park in Poway.  Trains weren't running that day but it was still fun to explore

Hobie and Maya get along quite well....now if Maya would just fall in line and learn the rules a bit more quickly.

She's actually asleep 

We explored the Children's Exploration Center in town.  It's no Boston's Children's Museum but it was still fun

We had a picnic at Torrey Pines and watched the sunset
