A Day at Getty Villa

Published on October 8, 2015 by amyewhitelivecomLeave a comment

While Grams was here we went to the Getty Villa in Malibu. They have a family friendly tour where the kids use an ipod to tour the villa. Quinn had so much fun hunting out the rooms and the names of the tours were Villains, Monsters, and Heroes. It was alot of fun for us adults too.

The Villa is JP Getty\’s dream of recreating of an ancient villa that was buried by Mt. Vesuvius in Italy. It\’s designed to feel like you are entering a (very nice) excavation site with multiple striations of earth, stone, etc.

The security wasn\’t too keen about Quinn setting the ipad down on the antiquities 🙂

A look out to the gorgeous gardens. Because of the draught all of the water features were turned off.

This year Quinn asked to have his 8th Birthday Party at Lazer Tag Extreme with his 10 bestest friends!

Pre-party fun with a couple of buddies!

All 11 crazy boys after their first round of Lazer Tag. The boys just loved it and had so much fun!

Party time!! You should feel fortunate that this picture doesn\’t have sound. Wow was it loud and crazy!

His party host Ryan doing some magic tricks for the boys.

After pizza and cupcakes Quinn got to sin the wheel for a special gift. He was hoping for Dippin Dots Ice Cream. Just what he needed 🙂

Um, yay for Dippin Dots?

The boys had so much fun and Quinn stated it was the best birthday party ever!!!

Second Grade

Second Grade Quinn!

His teacher this year is Ms. Virgen and I\’ve been told she is very kind and warm with the kids. So far she has been great and I really like her.

There are only 2 kids from Quinn\’s 1st grade class in this years class but he has a couple of other friends in the class. In fact he\’s sitting next to a teammate, Michael, from t-ball 2 years ago and the teacher told me that they are getting along great.

In fact Quinn played a little prank on Michael on the first day. When Michael went to sit in his chair, Quinn put his head on the chair and Michael sat on his head. They both thought it was hilarious 🙂

His after school request was gelato and chess. He was tired of losing chess to his dad so he thought he would play me so he could win. Somehow I won. I\’m not sure how that happened.

The new school hat that all the cool kids are wearing.
