A real satellite at the Air and Space Museum
|
 |
Piloting a helicopter (you'd better believe that Emerson wants behind the controls of a real one)
|
 |
Loved seeing The Spirit of St. Louis and other fantastic old planes--I've been reading about Anne Morrow Lindbergh recently, and loved seeing some of the machines that factored into her relationship with Charles
|
 | |
Even though I'm not exactly a motorcycle girl, I'm completely nuts about the old Indians--they're gorgeous and so evocative of the period they ruled
|
 |
If I'd been born at the right time, maybe I could have been a biker after all!
|
 |
Maybe our kids will become international surfing stars while we live here (ha!). Seriously though, the international museum and the Museum of Man were more fascinating than I expected--too bad they banned me from taking more pictures!
|
 |
The Natural History museum was surprisingly dull, though the kids liked getting cozy with a fake walrus (because the real one at Sea World is really gross)
|
 |
We didn't dish out the extra $17 per person for the pirate exhibit, even though it looked pretty awesome, but we did snatch some shots with some of the rogues lurking in the corners--too fun!
|
 |
Sneaky Addy! Poor Sera!
|
 |
Addy found a boyfriend; Sera did not approve
|
 |
She found a better match for herself later though
|
 |
Probably I should take better photos at the beach . . . though I am seldom inclined to leave my reading spot. Emerson and Addy are really getting into boogie-boarding, and I rather like it myself. I do long for a surfboard, though.
|
 |
Sera is pretty hilarious--she brought a doll and put it in a plastic container and thew it out into the waves over and over so that her doll could boogie-board too

Rays at Sea World

A date for fro-yo with my Sera
|
 |
Just before the pie-eating contest at the Del-Mar fair. The reason there are no after pictures is that I got suckered into joining in. I turned out to be a terrible pie-eating contestant--who wants to snort pie through their nose? Aaron and Asher held their own, though, tying for 3rd place
|
 |
Our kids as the fab four?

Fair by night

A visit to the Mormon Battalion before dinner and Piano Guys
|
 |
Emily and Holly and I (the moms) all studied piano with Dr. Shumway at BYU back in the day--lots of reminiscing!
|
 |
Piano Guys from our VIP seats
|
 |
I'm hearing way too often what a good-looking kid this Asher is lately--watch out, ladies!
|
 |
Intermission at the Piano Guys concert. See all the boats in the harbor behind us? It was truly a magical night!
|
 |
Padres!
|
 |
More Padres!
|
 |
Obviously this girl has mad skills
|
 |
This one doesn't even have to try
|
 |
Padres lost, but we had a great time!
|
 |
Awesome fireworks against the San Diego skyline
