Couldn't resist....a few more pictures from our trip!

I loved these Flamingo's they were so graceful and fun to watch.

Jason, Emily, & nathan checking out the Sting rays...The Sting rays would come up and let you touch them.....and sometimes they would turn on you and get you all WET!

I'm glad this picture worked. We were on a moving escalator, in a tunnel, underneath the sharks tank. Just as I took Jason's picture a shark swam by.

Grandpa and Mckai sitting on the patio watching the ocean.

There was a cute little dog at the airport....Mckai tried and tried to get his attention. But the dog was having none of it. Mckai even got down on all fours to impress him!

A Vacation to Imperial Beach

Last year we decided to try and take a " family" vacation with all the kids. Bruce thought Southern California would be the best place.....and I totally agree, now that we have gone.

We flew into San Diego on Saturday, we rented a Condo on the beach....we got there at 4:00 and by 4:15 we had our swimsuits and towel and were headed to the beach.

I took about 300 pictures, but I couldnt post them all....believe me I thought about it!!

Sunday we took a drive over into Coronado...and shopped and had lunch.

Monday...the Kids "Brandon, Mandy, Jason, Nathan, & Emily headed down to Tijuana for the great deals on Jewelery...I think it helped that Jason and Brandon spoke Spanish.

Tuesday we headed to Sea World....I'm Happy to report that Shamu is alive and well....(it is probably Shamu the third or fourth) but it was a great show.

Wednesday we were able to go through and tour the Aircraft carrier Midway...this was so awesome and well worth the money!

Thursday we took a short drive over to Point Loma and toured the Light House and the memorial.

Was soooo much fun to have everyone there. We all had a great time. And cant wait to go again! Well anyway "I CAN"T WAIT" I miss sitting on the patio and watching the ocean. I miss knocking on B and Mandy's door in the morning at 7:00 to see if Mckai was up yet. I miss teasing Jason and Nathan. I miss watching Erin in the ocean. I miss those great sunsets. All I can say is I'm planning my next trip to southern california, so if you want to go let me know!!


All suited up and ready to surf.....

Finally the ocean.....hmmmm seems to be a little cold...Brrrrr!!

Mckai was so excited to get his feet in the sand.....he just loved being on the beach.

The dirtier he got the better...

A Walk to feed "Blue"

...there is a horse name "Blue" that lives 2 houses down from us. We have told Erin that we will walk down and feed "Blue" but only on Saturday. She tries to talk us into feeding him every day. Erin is totally obssesed with feeding this horse. I have a re-curring dream ( more like a nightmare) where I wake up and Erin is not in her bed.....she is down the street feeding "Blue" whatever leftovers are in the fridge!
