The one with a new bear.

We took our last and final trip to lagoon with the girls, and enjoyed the swings the most.  Or just I did, I don't know.  Kate has officially ridden everything, and she should be most proud!

As per tradition, Jose and Nicole did the free fall thing before we left, they were moving so fast, so of course it is all blurry--but still! They are the black dot on the left up there ^^^.

Luca was having a blast--of course, getting everything he wanted from grandma, grandpa and Gaby, he didn't want to come home with us when we got back.

We did a little more shopping with the gang, and Luca was "lost" for a bit (I knew where he was, but nobody else did, it was amusing) he was just chilling under a rack of clothes.

Then we stopped by the build a bear, to let Luca experience that joy.  H was terrified of the noise of the fluff thing when he had to step on it, so daddy did that part, and he picked out 3 hearts for his bear, and the worker was nice enough to just let him stick all of them in there.

We let him choose a dog first, but while we waited in line he changed his mind, and I was glad because he always seems to favor bears over anything else.

^^my lovely first attempt at some happiness with his new bear.

The Jose came and helped.  We told him to say cheese--which he is, and he is pointing to make sure we are all aware that he is listening. 

He wouldn't put that bear down for forever.  I had to pry it out of his hands at the park so it wouldn't get all gross.
