Against our better judgment, we happily made that mad, mad, decision to take our boys to Ocean Park. Words cannot express the sheer heroism involved. Tina changed Manuel's diaper in a public toilet literally bursting with irate mothers and their little darlings. While Tina refuses to recount that horror, the silence that met her departure trumpeted her triumph. And no, I don't think I exaggerate.My heroism was more prosaic: running around with Juan, lugging the strollers, creating paths where none existed. But I suppose even that might be considered heroic, especially for the boys, whose idea of heroism is as simple as a bottle of milk and as pure as a pair of new diapers.
Check out my Multiply for pics. Enjoy!

LOL. What lengths parents go through for their children. Thanks for sharing these snippets of life with Tina and the boys. I do so enjoy reading about it.
You and your wife are mighty brave -- imagine bringing 2 toddlers (boys at that) on a holiday trip abroad, strollers in tow =)
Both your boys are cute, but I think Juan (he's the older one, right?) is truly gorgeous. Can I pinch his cheeks??
It's nice to view your family photos. Glad to see everyone had a wonderful time.
Merry Christmas! And a peaceful and fulfilling 2008 ahead =)
