McKinley Park

I took Alijah to a park downtown Sacramento called McKinley park on a beautiful May day and he had the time of his life watching the ducks and playing on the playground!!

Here is Alijah having a good time watching the ducks and the water!


He was amazed by the duckies!


Couldn't take his eyes off the water!



Kung Fu Panda 2

We took Alijah to see his very first movie in a movie theater over the Memorial Day Weekend!! We saw Kung Fu Panda 2! He loved the 1st one so what a perfect opportunity! And the coolest part was that it was in 3D.  We were a little nervous as to how he would handle the huge screen and increased sound but after we bought him his popcorn and slurpee and sat down, he was HOOKED!! Best experience we could have hoped for!! We can't wait to take him to see Cars 2 next month! I'm one proud Mama!!

Here he is posing in front of the sign!


Family portrait from inside the movie theater with our 3D glasses!!


He sat on Daddy's lap for the last quarter of the movie!


And was snuggled up with Mom for the first 3/4 of the movie!!
