After Disneyland

After Disneyland, on a whim, we decided to visit Grandma Cowles and San Diego some more instead of going home. It was Andrew's birthday on Thursday so we celebrated by going to Seaworld and having dinner with my brother Daniel's family, as well as Grandma. Christina made a delicious meatloaf and we had cake. It's great to be able to celebrate with family-- not a luxury we get here in Phoenix.

Happy Birthday Andrew!

The next day, yesterday, Friday... we went straight to the beach and had fun making a family castle in the sand with 2 plastic cups, sea shells, and seaweed. The seagulls ate our lunch we brought but that was the only downer. We had fun wading in the cold waves for a little while and collecting sea shells and sand dollars. Andrew thought we weren't going to stay long so he insisted that we didn't need sunscreen. ... We ended up having more fun than we thought and stayed out in the sun much longer than expected. Abby and I are very sun burnt. :) but we loved every minute of it.

Thank you to Grandma who let us, uninvited guests stay at your house.

pictures to come.

  2. Happy birthday Andrew! Sounds like you had fun and I can't wait to see the pictures! Sure miss you guys! You need to teach me how to get a picture on the back ground of my blog. I can never get it the right size.
