Some Reflections

*Our San Diego trip was filled with fun, cold weather, beautiful scenery, whining children, lots of pee on the baby carseat and stroller, BIG marshmallows, Swiss Family Robinson movie, sand, bubbles, a bouncing ball, flowers, trees, and sea creatures.
*Memorable moments from Sea World--freezing weather with drizzle, a dolphin show, a shamu show (both of which Aubrey did not enjoy and ended up falling asleep in my arms after crying for awhile), a 2 month old porcupine, a baby tortoise
*Memorable moments from the San Diego Botanic Gardens (I LOVED this place!)--beautiful flowers, trees, fruit from different continents, a view of the ocean, a children's garden with a tree house that stressed me out, an art area for the girls, setting up for a wedding (what a great place to get married!)
*Beach day--Lots of sand!!! Aubrey did a face-plant in the sand and didn't like it, Madelyn pretended to be a sea turtle, and Gracie picked up every shell on the beach and brought them home

Wednesday, May 30, Gracie learned how to put her hair in a ponytail all by herself!
The girls pretended to be Fancy Nancy and created art for an art exhibit that they want to have.
