Everybody's rockin'

We've had a pretty busy couple of days. We headed down to the bay to one of our favorite parks to cool off. Poway was 98 degrees and of course that would be the time that the air conditioner has a complication. :( So before we all melted, the kids and I headed to the land of cool breezes and met my friend Kelly and her daughter Keira. Here's Ty enjoying a swing. He use to be a little unsure of the swing but now really seems to enjoy it.

Here's Keira and Ty checking out the big kids under the slide. There were a few camps of older kids playing at the park and this was very interesting to Ty. I can tell he's a very social guy and wherever the ladies are, he's there. :)

While Tatum and Keira were having races down the slide...

Ty took it upon himself to direct the older ladies. Or maybe he was trying to flirt but either way, he didn't hesitate to get in there and join the fun. :)

Friday, my Wine Night ladies (minus 1) and I met at the Bernardo Winery for some delicious food and beverage. We'd been here before but this time it seemed sooooooo good. I can't get over that this winery is only 10 minutes from my house! Dangerous but good to know. :)

Ty got a few fun things for his birthday. A play house...

and a sand box! Of course, as you can see, he's good at sharing these things with his sister. Now we can have lots of fun in our own backyard! Well, when it's not 98 degrees!

We had lots of activities lined up for Saturday. The first one was to go to our friend Colin's 1st birthday down at the beach in Del Mar. The weather was beautiful and being at the end of the summer, I guess everyone else thought it'd be a great idea to head to Del Mar, because after driving around for 30 min. and not being able to find a place to park, we had to leave and miss the birthday. :( At least we got to see the party balloons and all the fun from a distance. :) Anyway, the next stop was Garrett's work party down in Crown Point. Lot's of fun and good food.

Tatum made some friends and enjoyed the bounce house, sidewalk chalk and the face painting clown! Note the outfit she insisted on wearing. :)

Since the party was down at the bay, we got to cool off by putting our feet in the water.

Then it was fun time for Shauna, Erica and me. We had tickets to the Dave Matthews Band concert in Irvine so we started the fun at the Yard House. Delicious appetizers and wine.

Then off to the concert! After hiking a ridiculous way up a very steep hill carrying a wine glass, we made it to our seats. As you can see from the photo above, this was our view. Could we have been sitting behind the largest man in the universe?! That's a normal sized woman, probably about 5'5". So he had to be at least 6'7"! Anyway, I think these were the worst seats we've ever had! So what are the odds of one of the concert workers noting the large person we were seated behind and the horrible view and deciding to take us down to some excellent seats! Of course, we won't complain about the huge puke pile in the middle of the aisle. We were as happy as clams and could finally see Dave!

Three very happy girls!

One very talented man.

What, the concerts over?! This is how we all felt. It went too fast and we were left wanting more, as always. But at least we got to hear a few favorites, like Satelite. Awwww, so wonderful. We realized that we've been to at least 12 concerts, or at least we've gone almost every year for 12 years, sometimes more than once a year. And it never gets old. :)
