SD Trip- Spring 2014. Part 1 of...

We recently visited Nai-Nai and Ye-Ye in San Diego. Cousins Chantal and Elena (and their parents) came to visit also. So, it was wonderful family reunion. We packed so much into the time we had together, I decided to break the posts up into manageable section. One day, Casey wanted to goto 'The park with the fire truck'. While Elena wanted to goto the beach. Of course, it was before noon, so Chantal was still sleeping; and Sydney wanted to goto the park, but not the beach. Somehow, we got Casey and Elena to compromise. In the morning, we went to the fire truck park (San Carlos Rec Cen) and in the afternoon, we went to Mission Beach. The kids enjoyed the park, pretty much giving equal time to all the appratus'. After lunch, Sydney did not want to goto the beach. So, me Casey and Elena ventured down to Mission Beach. Once we hit the sand, I never saw them again. OK, that's not exactly accurate, of course I could SEE THEM AT ALL TIMES, but only from a distance. They took off for the shore break, and splashed in the water for a solid hour within stopping. After that, it was time to build a sandcastle. They befriended/ enlisted other youths, and together they built sandcastle(s)...

These two are getting SO BIG!
