Botanical Garden ♥ (Part 1)

ボタニカル・ガーデンに行って来ました！

天気が良くてすてきな一日になった。

皆でお散歩＆ハイキング。

今度ばぁばと一緒に行きたいね！

We checked out the Botanical Gardens.

I've been curious about this place for a while now and we finally decided to go.

It's a beautiful garden (some are Japanese inspired) and never-ending trails throughout the park.

I loved it and we should come more often!

Kai loved it.  He was running around all day.

カイ走りっぱなし！

A rock tower. 

We spotted a rabbit!

うさぎちゃん発見！

peek-a-boo

We found a few Gnome houses.

Very cute.

Aww adorable miniature pine cones.

かわいい松ぼっくり！

Patches and patches of giant clovers.

Hmmm...I wonder if there's a 4 leaf clover somewhere in there.

A mystery door.  Kai-size.

Amazing day.  

The hiking trails were 'stroller-friendly' so we will be back for sure!

♫ Everything is Awesome ♫

The song from 'The LEGO Movie'

Kai loves this song and so do I!

We even got the soundtrack.

「レゴ・ムービー」のサントラ。

big boy PJ's...!

Yes, these are Kai's pajamas...

It's a size 3T and it fits Luka just fine.

Why so big??

カイのパジャマを着てます。

ちなみに3歳用です。

ルカ、なぜ大きい？

Laughing..!

Luka can't stop laughing ♥

ルカ笑いが止まらない。

Memorial Day Weekend...!

バーベキューしたけどあいにくの曇り空。

ずっと太陽が出てくれなかったよ～。

ルカは初めてとうもろこしをまるごと食べました。

Memorial Day is here!  This is like the unofficial start of summer to me.

BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa's house, yay!

But unfortunately, it was a very cloudy day... all day.

I waited for the sun but it never came out.

Luka had his first corn on the cob.

Food coma.

A golf lesson from Grandpa!

じぃじとゴルフの練習。

Doing the splits...again!

I was running some errands with the kids and like usual, Luka fell asleep by the time I arrived at Target.  I did a quick glance and noticed his feet were to the sides.

子供たちを連れてお買い物。

いつも通りルカは車内で寝てしまいました。

*This one is from March*

*今年3月に撮った写真*

To get a better view I climbed through the back and it was official..

He's doing the splits again!! 

This reminds me of the photo I took back in March in his crib.

でも、あれ？

足がまた変になってる。

股割り状態！

何ヶ月前にも同じような状況で寝ていました。

Aaaah!!! it's a complete 180 degrees.

Is that even comfortable?

うひょ～何でだろう？

楽なのかな？

♥

 

Erika and I played some badminton in the backyard.

Luka still didn't like the feeling of grass on his feet and hands.

He was cautiously crawling around.

ばぁばの庭で遊んでます。

Kai likes to water Grandma's plants whenever we go visit.

ばぁばのお花に水をあげてます。

Grandma with her bubble skills!

ばぁば、またもシャボン玉で頑張ってる！

Kai fell...Auntie to the rescue!

Citrus Lane May 2015 box for Luka...! (Last Box)

Luka's final Citrus Lane box arrived!

We had a 3-month deal for $15/month (great deal!) and it has come to an end.

Kai's subscription ended last month.

This was so much fun!

I'll be looking out for a good deal like this and I hope to subscribe again at some point.

Let's check out what we got in the May box!

ルカの最終ボックスです。

3ヶ月プランは今月で終了！

楽しかったね～

また半額セールがあったらやろうね♥

The info card.

Tea Collection - Baby Blowfish Graphic Tee

How cool, we got a piece of clothing in our box!

This is by Tea Collection (a very nice brand) and the size we received was 18-24M.

I'm so glad they sized up because Luka is bigger than his age.

This is a perfect summer shirt!

Retails for $26.50 (wow!)

Crocodile Creek Play Ball

This was our customization this month.

It was between the red dog, blue trucks and ...I can't remember the last design.

James helped me pick this one.  I couldn't decide--they were all so cute!

Luka loves this ball but I think Kai has been playing with it more.

Retails for $9.99

Goodbyn Lunch Pack - 2 compartments

I use a lot of tupperware for packing lunch for kids so it's nice to have a proper container.

Retails for $5.50

Plum Organics Might Snacks - berry beet & apple carrot

A couple samples of the new Mighty Sticks by Plum Organics.

I didn't think it would be a hit but they both loved it!

It also came with a coupon.

Retails for $1.13 for 2 packs

In total, the value comes to (roughly) $43.12 and I only paid $15.

Thanks CL for the fun boxes and introducing us to new brands and toys.

The kids will miss the packing paper...I let them go crazy and play with them since this is the last box for a while.
