Come this time of year, you know who’s going to be in town. Well, besides the Easter Bunny.
Fan Yang and his son are back at Discovery Science Center starting Saturday, the ONLY West Coast stop on the Guinness World Record holder’s world tour this year!! Yang will perform four shows a day at the BubbleFest extravaganza that runs through April 11.
Fan Yang’s Mega Bubble Show — a $7 ticket separate from admission to the center — is a big part of BubbleFest, a look at the science, principles and mathematics behind bubbles.
How big? This big: Yang will attempt to set a world record Monday for “Most Military Personnel in a Bubble” on Military Appreciation Day when any military member in uniform (active, reserve, guard or retired) gets in FREE to Discovery Science Center and the bubble show.
Regular Super Ticket prices are $29.45 for adults and $26.45 for children 3-17.
If you’re on a budget, regular admission to the science center ($9.95 to $12.95) includes access to indoor and outdoor Bubble Learning Stations where you can figure out how to make BIG bubbles, how to make bubbles last a long time, and how to touch the inside of a bubble, among other things.
And moms, Tuesday at 10 a.m. is Mommy and Me Bubble Play Day, offering group discount packages.
Kids (and adults) can get their pictures taken inside a bubble for an additional fee at BubbleFest.

5th Annual Cherry Blossom Festival 3/19/11
Festival is FREE with paid admission to Garden which for adults is $4.00, kids are FREE.
One of the most beautiful seasons in the Garden is spring when the cherry trees blossom into delightful pink clouds. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the Garden while enjoying delicious Japanese food, arts and crafts, unique gifts, entertainment, cultural demonstrations and the crowning of a new Little Miss Sakura. Guided docent tours will be provided into the Garden's expansion site which will lead to the home of over 150 enchanting cherry trees blossoming with brilliant pink flowers for everyone's enjoyment and endless photo opportunities. The Garden will also crown a new Little Miss Sakura. Ten young girls will compete for the title of Little Miss Sakura and will be the representative of the Garden at various community and cultural events. They will compete in a song and dance performance and interview.
Currently, there are 150 Cherry Blossom trees located throughout the existing site and future expansion. The trees were donated by the Asakawa Family who were the original inhabitants of the original tea house from the 1915 World Exposition in Balboa Park. The Cherry Blossom Festival is among a number of fundraising and cultural events that the Garden will hold for the expansion project. Currently, the Garden sits on two and a half acres. Upon completion of the expansion project to its complete eleven acres, the Garden will become one of the largest public Japanese-style gardens in the United States. The Japanese Friendship Garden is located in the heart of San Diego’s historic Balboa Park. Our mission is to provide a Japanese Garden dedicated to the well being of all people which offers educational programs that encourage understanding of the Japanese heritage among people of diverse backgrounds and cultures.

My Name according to a 2 year old.
Every mom does it. Plays the what does...(fill in the blank with an animal) say game with their preschooler. The duck says quack, the bird says chirp. As my son had been learning that all the animals had sounds. He mastered them, so i began to get creative. What dose the bunny say...you scrunch up your nose and try to make it wiggle, saying nothing. What does the baby say? Wah, wah. Then you go into names. What's this, point to duck and ask it's name. Duck! he says.
Go through tons of books asking for names. He masters that pretty good, then I begin asking him what's your sisters name? He answers right. What's the baby's name? He answers right. What's papa's name? He answers right. What's your name? He answers right. Now here's where it gets toooo cute for words. What's mama's name? He answers with his big blue eyes and his darling little boy voice....Shweethard....aka sweetheart! I think I melted that day. It's a day I won't forget, I just wish i had it recorded with his sweet little voice. Some times I wish life was on "record" mode all the time. We could save the moments we like and delete the ones we don't. What a great DVD that would make, huh?

Girl Scouts get FREE ice cream at Farrell's!
Girl Scouts who wear their uniforms into the restaurant can get a special FREE sundae at Farrell’s Ice Cream parlours in Mission Viejo and Santa Clarita next week, from Mon. March 7, 2011 to Fri. March 11, 2011.
This is part of a special Girl Scout Appreciation Week.
Their girl scout sundae has a brownie, ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, sprinkles and a bright red cherry on top. Sounds like a hoot and I’m sure it’s calorie free.
I wish when I was a girl scout someone gave me sundae for all those hundreds of boxes of cookies I sold!I wonder if my vest still fits?! LOL.
