San Diego 2012 - Week 1

We left for San Diego on Saturday.  It was 10:30a before we were on the road which didn't put us at the beach house until after 6p.  Boo!  Jaaten didn't care....she got her beach toys and said, "Mom, I need to play in the sand."  First order of business, dinosaurs to the water!!

 The boys seemed to love being outside in the stroller.  AZ has been so HOT so not much outside stroller time lately!!

 Hudson ;)

  Steel ;)

We walked to a local coffee shop the first morning at the beach.  Jaaten could not wait to get in that ocean!!

 This was the first ride the boys took in the bike trailer.  They didn't know what to think at first.  Better pictures of their faces later. ;)

 First day in a swimsuit ready to swim in the ocean. ;)

Steel & Hudson July 15th.

 Jaafe had a beach bonfire set up one of the first couple nights we were here.  Our place was right on the sand on the bay so Jaaten loved running around on the boardwalk with her popsicles in the evenings. ;)

 I think the boys liked watching her run around wild as much as she liked doing it!!

The home next to our rental was owned by a local family that uses their beach home throughout the year on weekends and summers.  They were a young couple with young kiddos and they celebrated a birthday party while we were there.  The Mom offered Jaaten a piece of the cake.....Jaaten dropped her popsicle (seen in previous pictures) on the spot and said, "Sure, I will have cake."  We don't keep sweets in our house so I am guessing that may contribute to her obsession with sweets!! 

Our great friends Jarrod and Ashlee and their cute baby Braxton live in SD so they came over for the beach bonfire too. ;)

Hudson didn't last long at the bonfire...super tired!!

Another beach day..

 Jaaten LOVES her cousin, Tiffany!!  Tif totally plays with her! Tif just graduated high school in May and Grammy brought her to SD as a graduation gift. ;)

 TIRED boy!!  Hudson never falls asleep on me so I had to document it!!

 Jaaten was feeling left out of the stroller rides...

We have been to SeaWorld again...forgot my camera....and the San Diego Zoo so far. ;)

SEAWORLD!!...Again!

The Wild One asked me to get her face painted a dozen times.  I kind of ignored the request the first couple times because I never thought she would sit through it.  My the time we were leaving the zoo, Jaaten had not forgotten so we did it!  She did great!

Making the decision...

 Jaaten on the ride home from the zoo...  ;)  It was a good day!

We packed up and went to the ocean side one day...not quite the same as the bay side.  Jaaten LOVED the waves!!

Back at the house...HAD to bring the playpen!!
