Irvine - Day Two - New Year's Eve

Playground.
Hotel pool.
Dave and Buster's.
Dinner at Yard House.
Back to the hotel for a countdown with sparkling juice. Not the best idea in a tiny hotel room, but they eventually settled down and we were all asleep by 9pm!

Irvine - Day One

A lot of rain meant we couldn't hike like we planned, but we still had fun exploring!

Poor Cheeto...

We're going to be fired from our pet-sitting position.

Happy 7th Birthday, Cole!

Ugh, my heart hurts.

Cole's wish for his special day: Trolley ride to the Holiday Bowl Balloon Parade, Souplantation, a bike ride and rainbow sherbet (he's the only kid in the world that doesn't like cake). I love how simple things make him so happy.

An awesome day for an awesome kid!
