San Diego Part 2

Okay, I'm a bit slow on the follow-up posting, but hold on to your seats you may see more than one post this week!!! Don't hold your breath, but there's a lot that has happened in the past few weeks to post about.... First, to finish up our San Diego vacation was the Smores on the Beach and Sea World. The overcast day was a perfect start to dinner and smores, but not in that order. We started with Smores because we are on Vacation, so we can eat dessert at anytime :)

Little Man was so excited about roasting marshmallows and was focused on the fire and making sure the marshmallow was roasted perfectly.

After carefully assembling the Smores, Little Man took a BIG bite

We tried to get Little Man to look at the camera, but his eyes would not leave the marshmallow roasting

So what was Ax doing while his big brother was roasting marshmallows??? He was either drinking milk posing for a picture in a seat made just for him or...

Engaging in a deep conversation with PaPa

Then off to Sea World the family went.... the boys loved all the animals and we spent most of the time at the dolphin interactive pool where the trainers continuously train the dolphins to perform in one of the shows. The park wasn't very crowded, so we were able to move through the park fairly quickly until Big Man harpooned Shamu....
Big Man won the Shamu in a Ring Toss game and PaPa also won Little Man a purple gorilla, so needless to say it was a good thing we drove to San Diego otherwise these animals would be forced to stay at the park. Ax was nominated to carry the whale and quickly became the topic of conversation among the visitors that we passed on our way to the car. We were even the subjects of several photo shoots..... fun fun :)


And who knew Elmo and Friends are now at Sea World??? Overall, we had a fantastic vacation. Thanks Grammie and PaPa for a great weekend! And the post would not be complete without the final beach and family shots :)

San Diego Fun

Well, we are back from the Bahamas (although I wish I was still on the white sandy beaches and taking two naps a day), but didn't stay in Arizona too long. We ventured to San Diego for a few days over the weekend with Big Man's parents. We had a great time at the Hotel Del Coronado and enjoyed the cooler weather. Little Man and Ax didn't want to leave the beach and the sand castle fun. Here's some pictures of the sandy fun.......
Little Man was so proud of his sand castles. He worked really hard packing the sand and resisting the temptation of Kung Fu fighting the sand castles over....

Ax on the other hand couldn't resist the temptation of destroying the sand castles, so Dad distracted him.....And the day would not be complete without a picture of the entire family :)
