San Diego

We needed a little family get away so we took off to San Diego.  We camped on the beach, went to Sea World, The Midway and a Cave in La Jolla.  It was just what we needed! 

 The Midway is a Air Craft Carrier turned Musuem.  We walked all through the air craft carrier and Rhett listened to all the prompts learning every bit he could.  He loved it!  Randy couldn't get enough either, he could have been there all day.  It was truly amazing!

Rhett earned his wings by answering all his questions about the air craft carrier he learned from his prompts. 

The cave begins in a gift shop where a long narrow staircase leads you to a cave that opens up to the ocean.  It is kinda a cool little spot that you would never even know was there.

Another Handyman

Rhett was annoyed that we still had child locks on the kitchen cupboards.  He asked Randy to take them off.  Randy got the drill and had all intentions of doing it himself but Rhett wanted to help so he showed him what to do and he took them all off by himself. 

Soccer 2013

Stingers AYSO Soccer Fall 2013

 

Rhett is an excellent soccer player!  He has always been a fast runner which is a good skill for soccer.  His great coordination helps too!  It was so fun to watch him.  We had a good team and had a good season.  

Randy's Donuts

Have always seen this place in movies and thought it would be fun to visit.  We were headed home from Orange County and decided to stop.  The pictures are terrible but it was fun.  Randy told Rhett it was his donuts shop and he still thinks it is true! 

Sycamore Canyon Bike Ride

 We took two trips down the canyon this summer.  The first time Randy rode with Bryan and Shandie and I drove the kids down to meet them.  We barbecued, had smores and played on the beach.  It looked fun and so I wanted to give it try.  So our family took a trip down together.  I was a little nervous about taking Rhett because it is pretty steep but Randy said he was more worried about me than Rhett!  Haha!  He was mostly joking but kind of not.  The truth is Rhett is a really good bike rider and I am average so he was probably right.  It was a fun ride! Dee picked us up at the bottom and we grabbed dinner together. 

Ocean Fishing

Jerry our Brother-in-law invited us to go ocean fishing on his boat for some white sea bass.  We got up super early and headed to meet him at the pier .  

 See that ladder on the side of the pier?  We climbed down that ladder with all of our stuff and got on boat because we left before the pier operator was there to lower the stairs.   The most important thing to get down that ladder was my 44oz Big Gulp of Mountain Dew.  No Joke!!  It was actually the hardest thing to get down the ladder but it was absolutely necessary to combat the sleepiness from my sea sickness pills  It was quite an adventure! Mission Accomplished though it worked and I didn't get sick! :)

It was Randy's first time fishing and he was hooked since he caught the biggest fish!!  We fished for squid which we used for our bait.  We caught 3 white sea bass each time we caught one it was bigger than the last.  It was pretty exciting!  We ended the night with a fresh fish dinner.  It was a wonderful day with a delicious dinner!! 

First Day of School 2013

Rhett's first day of school in Jr. Kindergarten.  Doesn't he look so cute and BIG?!?!?  We were nervous and excited for him to start at a new school.  We were grateful to get him into the school we wanted and are excited about his teacher.  Looking forward to a great year and a new adventure into this whole "real" school world!
