Addison and Fischer had the best time playing with their cousins, and it was so nice that they actually got to stay for a few days so the kids really had a chance to hang out and play together.
We did something everyday, so we definitely stayed busy.
They arrived on Thursday, December 27. We hung out at home that night. Bedtime was a little interesting that night because Addison and Fischer were so excited but also overly tired. Fischer kept coming out of his room and refusing to go to sleep even though he was beyond tired.
Eventually, Griffin ended up laying in bed with him and he finally fell asleep. We found out the next morning that Fischer woke up and had to potty, so Griffin helped him and helped him into a pair of underwear rather than another pull up. Then, apparently, Fischer pottied again and got his sheets all wet, so Griffin tucked him back into bed (on the dry side) after changing him into dry pajamas. All of this happened and we had no idea, even though we had our monitor on! We were sure to thank Griffin for allowing us to get some extra sleep that night. :)
Friday morning we all headed to Monkey Joe's. The kids had a great time and ran off A LOT of energy. They also played some video games and won tons of tickets - Griffin even won 500 tickets on one of the games. Needless to say, they came home with all sorts of little "treasures" from the prize counter.
After MJ's we went to one of our favorite spots for lunch, Miyo's. Afterwards we headed home and just hung out and played that afternoon.
Saturday we went to a local puppet theater and saw their production of Hansel and Gretel. It was cool, and the perfect length at 45 minutes. After that we drove around USC's campus and got out and walked around the Horseshoe a little bit. Then we went and enjoyed lunch at Whole Foods.
Sunday we headed out to the zoo. It was a chilly day to be there but the animals were pretty active since it wasn't too hot. We were there for about 4 hours, which is the longest we've stayed in a long time. It was great! Griffin, Ashlyn and Cohen had a front row seat for the gorilla feeding!
While we were at home the kids stayed very busy... they played outside together with their new soccer balls from Aunt Julie and Uncle Brian (who is a college soccer coach). They rode bikes, had a dance party, played games, read books and much, much more. Cohen and Fischer even put together a little sock puppet show for us. So cute. :)
We had a great visit and are hoping to do that again soon!
