Labor Day Beach Camping with Aunt Pamme and Uncle Mike

Pamme and Mike hosted a family camping weekend at San Elijo in Cardiff. We had a wonderful weekend full of family, bbqing and beach time. Lucas as usual loved it all. Playing at the beach (especially with Cal), surfing with Aunt Pamme and Uncle Mike, sleeping and playing in a tent, hanging out in the bunkbed in the bus (aka the motor home) and believe it or not his two favorite activities were taking a shower in the campground shower and watching the trash truck dump the trash from the very full and stinky dumpsters. :) -- The weekend was fun and exhausting at the same time. We can't wait for next year!

Stephen Birch Aquarium Trip with Aunt Sue

Lucas was lucky enough to go to the aquarium with his Aunt Sue - He had a great time looking at the fish - His favorite were the jelly fish and the string rays. We went through the displays at record speed - but his little brain picked up all that was inside. Here are a couple of pictures. (Poor Owen - stuck in the car seat again - we do take him out occasionally :))

Dog Days of Summer Legoland trip

We met up with Cal (who is almost 4) and Sue at Legoland. The park was not crowded and we were able to walk on to most of the rides. Lucas officially became a big boy on this trip and rode his first rollercoaster (2 times). After the first time - I asked him if he liked it and he said "no". I asked if he wanted to ride it again and he said "yes".

The boys had a great day on the rides, running through and climbing on the fort and spending over an hour in the water area running and splashing.

Chuck E Cheese

Yes, we went by choice - We went on Saturday. All the boys had a great time. (Check out all the tickets Owen won)

Last TGIF Jazz Concert of the Summer

At the last minute we decided to go to the final concert of the summer. It was a jumping jive group - Lucas spent quite a bit of time dancing with me and some other children. He also spent some time on the playground and was making friends with some older (6 years) girls. When we got back to our spot on the lawn - he told Rich that he "met some girls and got their phone number." We couldn't stop laughing and are not sure where he got the line from. :)

Can't wait for next year's concerts. Be prepared for an invite - as we realized this year - a group is much more fun than one of us running with Lucas and the other sitting alone.

Check out the healthy meal we are feeding Lucas :(
