Father's Day 2010

After everyone headed home from the Kona Kai on Father's Day, we took Jared's boat for one last spin around the Shelter Island basin. We grabbed some sandwiches and anchored off of a sandy beach where we could pick out our favorite house on the Point, then Jared and Parker threw some lures in the water for a little bit. Parker informed us that he was fishing for a swordfish--better luck next time. Afterwards, Parker absolutely crashed out asleep on the bow of the boat, exhausted after such an action- and sun-packed weekend on the water. He looked so funny splayed out flat on the bow. We putted around the docks for a while, now choosing our dream sailboat, before we headed back to the launch ramp, pulled the boat out of the water, and headed home. Parker stayed asleep for the rest of the afternoon/evening, not waking up until we pulled into the driveway at home! You can tell by the look on his sleeping face that he was truly zonked!!

Father's Day Weekend

We were so lucky to be able to spend a warm, sunny weekend down in San Diego with Dee and Niki and Jared's family for Father's Day. We stayed at the Kona Kai on Shelter Island, while was truly like going on vacation in paradise for two days! We woke up to look at the boats docked right in front of our room and looked across the channel to the gorgeous homes along the shores of Point Loma. We spent two days swimming in the pool, playing in the sand, going for rides on Jared's boat, eating, and having a huge bon fire at night. Parker played longer and harder than I have ever seen him, with two of his cousins there and other family members for constant entertainment, a playground, water, sand, toys, and not a nap in sight! Needless to say, he fell asleep in about two seconds once he finally did get tucked into bed (way past his bed time). So much fun!

Happy Father's Day!

We had a super fun Father's Day in San Diego this year. Dee and Niki scouted out a perfect hang out spot on a little beach in the bay on Point Loma looking out at Shelter Island. Nate, Lisa, Alex, Kristina, Jim, Lanea, Diana, Grayson, Grandpa Don, and Andrew were all there, too, and we spent the whole day playing in the sand, splashing in the water, going for boat rides (Jared brought his boat and beached it right at our spot), and eating lots of food and cake (it was also Alex's 8th birthday!). After weeks of heavy June gloom, the sun came out all day and we had a gorgeous San Diego Sunday. Can't wait to do it again!!
