I wanted to give my boys and opportunity to feel the spirit of the Temple so we went to the LA Temple Visitors Center Friday.

Nap Time and Legos!

 

Today Ben went upstairs and Nathan fell asleep on our bean bag chairs.

Yeasterday Charlotte's library had a Lego build so the boys met a friend and had fun.

This was at the Lego store, they have bins of Legos for kids to build stuff.

Instrument Program at the Library

The library had a program today where an organization brought in pretty much every instrument that you can think of for kids to try out. I even got to mess around with a Cello which made me miss playing back in middle school a little!

 

Beach Day

Our Ward had the 2nd weekly Beach Day Thursday at Zuma Beach in Malabu (1st for us since last week was Cub Scout Camp) The boys enjoyed throwing beach mud at each other! and jumping into the waves. Afterwards I drug them through an art gallery at Pepperdine University.

This year the Transformers convention Botcon was in Pasadena so my Friend Dave and I toke Ben, Nathan and his son Dylan. These are actually regular people who made these awesome suits and attend conventions. We walked around the vendors and bought some stuff, got free Transformers and attended a panel about future Transformers coming out.
