Last week Thursday Shane's preschool class took a field trip to the California Oil Museum located in Santa Paula. There was a special bug exhibit, so that was the focus of the trip! The kids were able to look at some live Black Beetles under a magnifying glass along with some dead crickets! They were also able to go on a "bug hunt" looking at many different type of bugs under glass (like a giant bug collection!). In addition, we were able to have a tour of the oil industry part of the museum, and we learned quite a bit about how oil is obtained out of the ground. Even Olivia went on the field trip! That made it a little bit more of an adventure (for me!), but she did really well!
The kids continue to love putting together the puzzles Aunt Joan gave them! This picture was taken Saturday morning. Today I had the kids pick them up so that I could vacuum. And an hour after I finished cleaning the house, the puzzles were back out and are being put together once again!
Olivia continues to grow and just be such a delight! We all love watching her in the bouncy chair as she loves to look at the characters on top! She smiles at them and every once in a while we hear a little giggle! It's so cute! Also in this picture she is wearing an outfit that I bought for my friend Julie's little girl, who is now 2, when she was born. Julie gave it back to me for Olivia to wear!
On Sunday we went to a birthday party/Super Bowl party at one of our friends houses. It was fun to watch the game with friends and enjoy some great food! There were a bunch of kids there of course, and our kids were outside playing the entire five hours we were there, with the exception of grabbing a few snacks! Olivia is being held in this picture by my friends Nicole, who had the birthday we were celebrating!
