Coronado Island and San Diego with the Eliasons

We had a relaxing and exciting time with the Eliasons. Renting a house on Coronado Island, hitting the beach...and then also visiting the Wild Animal Park and Legoland.


Nate turned 6 the second day we were there. Brownies again!


The weather was great, lots of sunshine...but on this particular day, we had some clouds and possible rain, so we headed to the Children's museum.


We chose two theme places to go, the first being the Wild Animal Park.


Then a beautiful full day at the beach. Just what the doctor ordered!


After our relaxing day at the beach, we hit the second theme park...Legoland! The kids didn't enjoy it at all. :)

Here's a slideshow of lots of pictures from our trip

Nate's Birthday Party!

Well I've been out of the loop a few weeks with influenza...it got me good this year, so I'm going to start blogging again with Nate's birthday party. I'll get back to President's Day weekend pics when we get back into town. We squeezed in a party for Nate tonight, then leave for San Diego tomorrow morning at 5am. It's an early one. Here's some pics


We met all three of these families when I was pregnant with Nate. The kids don't know life without them.


Nate and I made this pinata yesterday. Talk about pushing it! It only lasted one blow...then turned into a gooey mush. Next time we'll start earlier.


Totally caught checking out the loot. Not even my kids!


Nate opening gifts. He had pajama day at school today. Wouldn't take them off.


Look at this big "almost" 6 year old. Can you believe it?! I sure can't. More birthday pics to come in two days....from San Diego!
