Summer '11 (so far)

This has been one of the best (and busiest) summers yet! We've been having so much fun and enjoying San Diego like never before. And the best part is, we've still got another month and a half of fun summer times to go!!
Summer started out with a trip the the L.A. Zoo with Grammy and the cousins. It was a really fun day. Hot, but fun! The boys loved getting reacquainted with their cousins. They ate lunch together, petted the animals together and shopped together!
Next, we had a fun day at the San Diego County Fair. We had absolutely perfect weather. And after wasting half of the day eating, we finally found the fun kiddie area and the boys went wild! It was really cute to see all the fun stuff available for them. Who knew!?!
We've also been spending a lot of time with some friends at a sprinkler park and the beach. The boys are now water bugs! Where else but San Diego does your one year old have a tan?!?
We'll have more pictures to post soon as we're hitting Knotts Berry Farm on Monday and then off to Tucson for vacation.

P.S. My pictures are REALLY out of order. Sorry. Still can't figure out how Blogger loads them!

Jonah at the fair. They had saddles set up for kids in the horse corrals. He had a blast on this one because it would rock back and forth!

Cousins at the zoo petting the donkey.

Back at the fair. This was a little kid area where they could pretend to use the pooper scoopers and clean up after the stuffed animals. Naturally, my boys were drawn to this. Not sure if it was the animals or the pooper scoopers.

Ready for a load of poop!

The pooper scooper was bigger than Henry.

They had a fake cow that you could "milk." Water actually came out but it was really hard to milk it!

Inside one of the kiddie tents, they had a pretend kitchen/shopping area set up with shopping carts, pretend food and kitchens. This was the highlight of the day for the boys. Ramming shopping carts. Doesn't get much better for two little boys!

The sprinkler park. This place is THE BEST! First of all, it's free. Second of all, parents can just hang out on the grass and watch their kids have fun. Third, the kids run around like crazy and then go home and take GREAT naps!!!

Back to the fair. Jonah is in the corner cooking on the BBQ!

The beach! We've found our favorite beach is in Coronado. It's perfect in so many ways!

Jonah loves the beach too! He's finally gotten over his fear of the waves and will venture out into the water, if I hold his hand. So cute in his little glasses!

Henry at the sprinkler park. The first time we went, you couldn't keep the boy out of the water!
