Connor and some of his buddies celebrating the 100th day of school with some crazy shirts. Connor had 100 robots stamped on his shirt… which took him and Aliciana quite some time to create.

The Little League season has begun. Connor has moved up to the single A level this year. He is on the Padres again, with the same coaches as his t-ball team, and with many of the players from last season.

Gavin is in AA again this season. This season, all the AA teams are named after Minor League teams. Gavin is on the Scrappers, with a cool bulldog logo. Even though the season just started, he already had a scrimmage versus another team.

I was on hand to help out at Connor’s Valentine’s Day party in Mrs Dastrup’s class. I also stopped in to say hi to Gavin, who was in the classroom across the hall.

Connor and the rest of the Single-A Padres had a scrimmage verses the Mets. He had a good game, getting 3 hits!

The boys had the day off of school (actually, the get off all week), so I took the day off too. We ended up going to the Zoo, and hung out most of the time in the Africa Rocks section.

The boys and I had never been to Universal Studios, so when I saw that AAA had a good deal on season passes, I decided it was time to check it out. We ended up going for today and staying the night to go again tomorrow.

We hit most the rides during a long and exhausting day. We also went on the studio tour, where you took a tram around various movie sets.

Hogsmeade, which is the Harry Potter portion of the park, was our favorite area. I started reading to books to the boys a few months ago, so it was awesome seeing the books come to life around us.

We spent most the day catching shows we didn’t see yesterday: The Waterworld, Movie Effects, and Animal Actors shows. We also ate our lunch in Hogsmeade, which is where I took all the photos for the day.
