Celebrating @ Irvine Regional Park

We are continuing to unpack boxes and slowly whittling down our pile of stuff in the living room. I am very excited to say that I managed to hook up my Series 2 Tivo to our AT&T U-Verse box. (I had to order an IR cable after failed attempts to purchase one at Best Buy and "The Shack". I am still waiting for my wireless adapter from Amazon...then we'll be really hooked up!) I must say, the connections do not look pretty as we have an awful media niche. Hopefully my BIL can help us use the conduit (is that the right term?) to hide some of the wires.

Back to last weekend. We celebrated my mom's birthday at Irvine Regional Park, hence the title of this post. My sister and BIL brought some delicious food...ham and cheese baguettes (w/cornichons!), egg salad sandwiches, green bean/cherry tomato salad, potato salad (w/ bacon!), rice crispy treats and cupcakes. Afterward we rented a couple of bicycles built for two. (Look for the buy one rental get one free online). Of course, k was *very* reluctant to put on the required helmet for kids. We basically just forced it on her head while she cried/screamed. However, once D took off with her, she had a good time, like I knew she would. We ended up all taking turns and had a nice time in the perfect weather.





k also had a great time kicking around her new ball (from Target) with Uncle K. She was running around so much and had absolutely no problem falling asleep that night!
