Legoland

Headed out to Legoland to take advantage of a few free tickets before they expire.  It was lovely in Carlsbad today, but these girls really wore me out.  I need a nap…

Sombrero Night

Ahhh sombrero night I will never forget you!  Who starts out at a sushi bar and ends up wearing seriously oversized sombreros, and drinking oversized Coronaritas?  We do.  I know grow up already... Never!  Who know they even made hats this large?

Beating the Heat

I am pretty sure it is about a million degrees outside, but I wouldn't know because I looked for the coolest place I could find!  Ice skating.  I can't think of a better place to be, of course I pretended to go for the kids, but really...

Night Beach

We went to the beach later this afternoon and Jeremy came along!  The kids were so excited to spend some time with him at the beach.  Because of his pesky job he rarely gets to come with us.  We met the Brouwers and the Browns (sans Troy, pesky job again) and checked out some tide pools, then the kids got their fill of the beach.  Next we headed over to Pizza Port, delicious, and decided we had so much fun why not go back to the beach!  So we went back to the beach and watched the sunset.

Melrose Ranch Camping

This afternoon we went out shooting with the kids then headed to the pool to beat the heat.  The guys sure put on a show from the diving board.  I keep waiting for one of those old men to pull something!

Melrose Ranch

We went out to Melrose ranch for camping and really weren't sure what to expect, but it is absolutely gorgeous here.  The little kids are all over this tree and they have full hook-ups.  What more can you wish for.  We have a nice shady spot to circle up the chairs and visit while we avoid the heat.  What an amazing place.  The kids had snow cones, rode bikes then had a huge water fight.  The little kids were trying to make a zip line out of a rope and a pogo stick.  Once they finished it they made Jaxon test it out.  Chickens!  Great day.  Looking forward to the rest of the weekend.

Two for Tea

I wanted to make something nice for Vanessa and Heidi for throwing me such wonderful birthday celebrations.  I had been kicking around the idea of embroidering these dishtowels when I first saw them, but I couldn't find a design I liked so I made my own.  I also learned how to crochet to make the trim (thank you youtube)!  With the long drive home I was able to finish both!  I am going to have them over for coffee tomorrow to say thanks.
