Ryan's co-residents sponsored a beach bonfire, which we all loved... especially Joshy. He couldn't contain his excitement for the chocolate part of the S'mores and was very willing to help add wood to the fire.

| Does Joshy dare go into the hole? |
 |
| Yes! He dares. |
DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK
We had a really fun day going on a lot of rides, climbing on some rope bridges, seeing some great shows, etc. We were terrible at taking pictures though since our hands were very occupied with boys most of the time.
 |
| Joshy driving his bug. He went on this twice since he loved it so much! |
 | |
| Here's our little family now... |
 |
| ...and here we were 4 years ago, a significantly smaller family. |
 |
| Happy to be sitting in their stroller all day. Good thing it's a nice stroller! |
 |
| Watching Mickey's Soundsational Parade, which Joshua could not take his eyes off of for 1 minute. |
We walked around the San Diego Bay & stopped to take a picture by this 25' tall statue. There was a large group of tourists from Shanghai there that thought our little boys were quite the photo op. Joshua, Ben, and Sam might be famous in Shanghai!

SEA WORLD
We got soaked during our last trip to Sea World! We unwisely sat in the 2nd row at the dolphin show. It was labeled the "Soak Zone," not the splash zone, the "SOAK" zone. I don't know why we thought we wouldn't get too wet... We got soaked! No pictures to document that though since we changed all the boys as soon as the show was over. They were pretty good sports about getting soaked with cold, salty, dolphin water.
 |
| Joshua was mesmerized by these sharks |
 |
| Lucky Joshua barely cleared the 37" height requirement for jumping on this huge inflated trampoline. He loved it, but refused to leave when his time was up and an attendant had to retrieve him. I guess that's what happens when a young kid is tall. :-) |
 |
| The brothers playing together in the kids' "tide pool" area |
 |
| Sam & Ben loved crawling around and playing with these big squishy blocks. |
 |
| Look at Sam's happy face! (Ben is in the background.) |
 |
| Here's Ben making friends |
FUNBELIEVABLE
We had so much fun at this indoor play ground. I hope they have something like this in Houston. It would be the ideal place to play on a hot day!
 |
| Joshy loves the ball pit! |
 |
| Where is he? He's hiding... :-) |
 |
| Here's Sammy riding a frog |
 |
| And here's Ben in the little kid ball pit |
 |
| And here's King Joshua, King of the Goofy Smiles! |
SAN DIEGO ZOO SAFARI PARK
We went to the Safari Park with my parents to celebrate my birthday. It was a perfectly wonderful excursion. I couldn't have asked for a better day or a better present!
 |
| My family (minus my brother who was "enjoying" traffic school, poor guy) |
 |
| Happy Sam |
 |
| Happy Ben |
 |
| Joshua got to ride this animal carousel twice. So much fun! |
 |
| Watching the monkeys with Grandma |
 |
| Getting rained on and loving it! |
 |
| Joshua loved being able to pull this handle to make water run off the roof |
 |
| Pure joy! |
 |
| He could not get enough of this raining roof thing... |
 |
| ...until he found the outdoor shower! |
 |
| Cute, little Ben |
