This morning we left early and drove down to Castaic for Lily and Zachary’s 2nd birthday party. They had the party at Scooter’s Jungle which is like a big, huge bounce house! (We all laughed at the irony that last year when the party was outside it was 107°, but this year, when it is indoors, it is only 85° outside. Go figure!)There were slides and bouncy houses, games (like ping-pong and air hockey) and a zip line. All the kids were having a great time! When Amanda and Rebecca first climbed to the top of the slide, Amanda stood there nervous for a moment, and then Rebecca went flying by her and down the slide. She must have figured that it couldn’t be that bad, and then after that we could barely keep them off the slide! Katrina went down a few times with Kevin and Lora, but she mainly stayed in a little toy area that she was comfortable in.
There was a lot of food and the kids got pizza for lunch and then there was a yummy cake! We all song Happy Birthday to them (one half of the room sang Zach and Lily and the other half sang Lily and Zach so it would be even!) It was a fun birthday party!After the party we did a few geocaches (15 of them today!) while Jeremy and Renee got the kids to sleep and then we went over and visited for a while. The twins opened their present from us (we love these books by Leslie Patricelli - Yummy Yucky, Quiet Loud, Big Little, and No no Yes yes) and then our girls opened their gifts from their aunt and uncle. The kids had a great time playing!
We finally had to go and we got a few more caches on the way home. We stopped in Gorman, on the Grapevine, on the way home for dinner. Traffic was pretty light, mostly because we were traveling the opposite direction of the holiday traffic, and believe it or not, we made it home before 10:30pm!

Sounds/looks like a fun trip! Scooter's Jungle seems pretty cool. Cool picture of Rebecca going down the slide with her hair flying behind her. And also, good one of Amanda on the zip line. fun post.
It is so neat to see the twins. It is amazing how they all grow up so fast. I can't believe they are 2 already, but then again mine are 2 also. It really isn't fair that they both have so much hair! It looks like Jeremy and Renee are surviving. It is definatly an interesting journey not to mention completely different than any of my other kids.
Tell them hi for me.
