What is one of the best things about living in San Diego? It's not a bad place to visit. . . so we had visitors!!! (Really- who would want to visit us if we lived in North Dakota?)
We were SO excited to have our great friends from Orem, the Wilsons, come visit us last weekend. Since the move, I have missed Rhiannon, Kevin, and little Reed so much, so it was so fun to see them again.
It was a packed weekend; we spent the first day up in LA. We went to the Santa Monica Pier during the day, and hit up Dodger Stadium that night, where I'm pretty sure Ammon and Kevin ate thier weight in hot dogs and nachos. We also found out that Scout and Reed are pretty big Dodger fans, there were hardly any tears. It was such a fun night (even being surrounded by all the thugs that call themselves Dodger fans), now that's saying a lot.
Once in San Diego we went to the temple, the beach (several times), saw the seals in La Jolla, went to Old Town, ate some good food, played with crabs at the tide pools, and ate some more good food. We were so sad to see them leave, but now we realize it's our turn to visit utah to get our 'Wilson fix.'
There is no doubt about it. . . this girl belongs in California (or Hawaii, or anywhere with salt water and sand). She loved the water, the sand, the seaweed, the crabs, the everything. I have never seen one child inhale so much sand at a time before.
Our weak attmepts at a family picture. Gotta take what you can get sometimes.
Living it up at the Santa Monica Pier.
This is out on the Santa Monica Pier. Don't we have the cutest baby?
Praying , gymnastics, meditating, communicating with the crabs? . . . your guess is as good as ours.
Aaah, she makes us so proud! Where she got this nifty move from- I have no idea. I'm digging it though.
I guess Scout isn't as excited as we are to be at the pier.
THE GAME: (I have no idea what the score was (sorry Ammon)- - - but I do know that the Dodgers won-yeah!!!)
Who's the greatest wife? . . It's me. I agreed to not only
go to the Dodger game, but
to sit in the 'All You Can Eat Outfield.' So, for $30 you get tickets to the game and unlimited nachos, drinks, popcorn, hot dogs (Sorry Ammon, Dodger Dogs), and peanuts. How could we resist. 4 Dodger Dogs, 2 Nachos, 4 Drinks, and 2 bags of peanuts. . . . Ammon's a happy boy. After that night Ammon's only been allowed to eat carrots and spinach. . . hope it was worth it Ammon.
Scout and Reed were a hit at the game! All the big, drunk, thug, Dodger fans kept waving to the babies and comenting on how cute they are. There's nothing like a severly intoxicated, overweight man, eating hotdogs by the dozen, getting all up in your daughter's bussiness. Ahhh, why wouldn't we love the Dodgers? Beats me.
Scout's a smart girl, notice how she is holding on for dear life to Ammon's hair; she knows that all it takes is one good hit by the Dodgers and she's going flying into the crowd when Ammon starts cheering. She is a brave one.
Kevin, Rhiannon, and the Reedster
I love this picture. Two of my favorite things captured in one beautiful picture.
Us at the La Jolla tide pools. Sorry about the weather Wilsons, I still feel bad about it being overcast. You guys should come back, the weather is beautiful today.
Does life get any better than this.
The boys and the babies. Scout and Reed don't really have a choice. . . they
will be best friends.
Did we mention that Scout likes to eat sand?
Once again. . . your guess is as good as ours.
Pacific Beach pier. It was pretty overcast, but that didn't stop Ammon and Scout from getting in. It was right after this picture was taken that we burried Ammon in the sand and made him into a giant turtle.
It was such a great trip. Thank so much for coming guys- I can't wait to see you again. We love you guys.
At the beginning it was nice and cool- all of us were excited and ready for our 'morning excercise.'
1. Scout at the beginning. . . perky and happy.
2. Getting a little tired. More water mom!
3. Letting us know that she does not care too much about the waterfall. She made it pretty obvious that she would rather be asleep in her bed.
Enduring the picture taking like a champ.
4. And the way home! She was asleep before I even started peddaling. She slept the entire 4 miles back to the car. (How tired could she really be? She didn't have to pedal, she just sat and enjoyed the view) Oh, to be a baby.
