Love this city we live in

I always knew I loved San Diego, but we've been having so much fun lately and running into new experiences, even after all these years. So many things to do, we might need to do a new, fun activity once a week this summer! Here's the family at Carruth Cellars winery in Solana Beach. Shauna and I are members here and enjoy a free tasting every other month when it's time to pick up our wine.

After some wine tasting, we headed down to Del Mar to have a picnic and enjoy the sunset.

And here's a flock of pelicans that flew over. Beautiful.

I don't know what's going on with this photo, it looks like it's snowing at the park! It must be because it was pretty dark when we took this picture. Ty loves to ride on these and always wants me to get on one near him at the same time. Everyone always wants to feel like a kid again!

Tatum loves the big girl swing and she's getting pretty good at pumping!

Another fun day we headed downtown to the Children's Museum and met my friend Kelly and her daughter Keira. So many fun things to experience at this place. For starters, the kids got smocks on and tackled painting this huge, metal whale.

They put out these large buckets of paint and these big brushes, a kid's dream!

Then it was on to the clay area. If you haven't gotten the message yet, plan to dress your children in clothes you don't mind them getting a tad dirty in if you plan on visiting. ;)

Then we checked out this neat house that had a plastic roof and sprinklers running down to create a rain sound. Inside was this floor foam puzzle, so fun!

On to a bamboo xylophone where instead of hammering, Ty was more interested in pretending the hammer was a microphone. American Idol here we come!

Tatum was awesome at the rock climbing room!

And all the kids loved this rainbow bouncy tube, fun! Too many great things to check out at this place and the best part is that they switch over their exhibits every few months so when we go back, it'll probably be all knew to us!

We headed out in front of the museum to an interesting park for a picnic. Look at this funny and very large swing!

And on yet another fun day, Ty and I met Erica and Jack at SeaWorld. How cute are these boys? Jack is almost 5 months younger than Ty but at this age, they're starting to notice each other and enjoy hanging out. So cute!

The boys loves the star fish tide pools...

and we all had fun on the sky buckets...


After a picnic, we headed over to the Sesame Street section where there's lots of fun things to climb in and check out for little guys.

They even have some water spray areas. Ty wasn't too keen on getting wet so he just watched Jack get in there and enjoy it!

Ty saw Elmo and Abby come out and he couldn't wait to get in line to see them. He loves characters! And he absolutely loves Elmo. The look on his face is priceless.

How lucky we are to live in this beautiful city and enjoy all it has to offer in some amazing weather. Thanks San Diego!!!
