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!

Bates Nut Farm






We had a fun family day at Bates Nut Farm out near Escondido--they have a crazy pumpkin patch/Halloween carnival there through the whole month of October! Grandma Chris (Grammy) has been here visiting, so she got to join us as we met up with Mimi, Niki, Diana, Grayson, Jim, Kristina, and Lanea! The kids all had so much fun--Parker was happy all day long, right up until bedtime. He was definitely on a little-kid carnival high. He got to pet animals (although he stuck his thumb in his mouth seconds after petting the pig...and yes, those are tears on his face as Grammy tries to explain to him that baby animals are not scary), fly down a giant bouncy slide with Mommy, chow down on carne asada tacos, go for a tractor ride, and feed goats. Whew!

Bathing Beauties




The days were incredibly hot in Napa (almost 90 degrees), so it felt great to cool off in the hotel pools in the evenings.

Harbor Splash

San Diego Bike Ride





Today we went for a long bike ride along the harbor in downtown San
Diego with Mimi (Grandma Dee) and Grandpa Niki. They were great tour
guides! Parker took the opportunity to catch some zzzzzs along the way.
What a way to travel! He woke up just in time to climb some trees and
have lunch next to the U.S.S. Midway, then splashed in his diaper at
the baby beach with Mimi on the way home. He was happily and thoroughly exahausted when he finally collapsed into his car seat at the end of the day.
