Bonding in SB

Yesterday Todd and I enjoyed some good, quality mommy-son time together, letting Daddy work peacefully at home. We went shopping for swim trunks, hit Trader Joe's for groceries, ate lunch together at a Pick-Up-Stix, browsed the toy store next door, and stopped off at Border's before making our way back home to grab a bag and head for the wading pool at Oak Park.

It was a beautiful sunny day, and we enjoyed splashing around in the foot-deep pool and playing in the playground afterward.

Been a while since we've had a whole day all to ourselves, and what fun it was! :-)

Today was family day-- Todd helped Daddy wash his ash (from the nearby Zaca fire that's been burning this past few weeks), bird poop and tree tar covered car, and then the entire family trooped down to the pool. It was decidedly cooler, as clouds kept covering the sun, so our swim time was short-lived, but playground play wasn't :-D
