Summer Fun

Kiteboarding 101. Brady, Tanner and our neighbor went and took their first kiteboarding lesson. Needless to say Brady is hooked and I am sure there will be more soon to come.And of course Ella had to fly a kite as well...

Grammy took the grandkids all to the Discovery Science Center. They had a blast!

It wouldn't be summer without the beach and ice cream cones. =)

Busy 4th of July

We had quite the busy 4th on Saturday. First, we met our friends Jeff and Martina (and who can forget their dog Jack...Ella can't) over at the Huntington Beach parade. Ella had a great time and clapped and danced for each group that passed.

She ate a LOT of licorice... Next, we went over to Mimi's for a BBQ and swimming.Ella has decided jumping in the pool is quite fun these days.Then, we headed over to watch the fireworks off the Queen Mary in Long Beach. We grabbed a great uncrowded spot on the beach and ended the night there. Ella LOVED the fireworks.Who could miss flying a kite with Nana. =) Owen is quite the kite flyer!! Ella loved doing her own little firework show too!All in all it was a fun day and we were exhausted in the end.

San Diego

So we decided to take a weekend trip to San Diego and just get away. It was really fun and we crammed a lot of things in while we were there. Here are a few pictures of the fun.

The Catamaran

Boating on Mission Bay

San Diego Zoo

This is about 2 minutes after we left the front gate. She didn't fall asleep til we got out of the park. She had a blast at the zoo and the Monkeys, Tiger, and baby Giraffe were definitely her favorite animals. We had a good trip!
