A Wet January

It's been quite rainy for southern California.  We've still had plenty of time to play outside and go see some things around San Diego.  We had sleepovers with cousins.  Yaya and Uncle Timmy came to visit.  And we've finally had time to try out all of our Christmas loot.  The only downside to this month is Everyone getting sick at the end of the month.

GaMommy is Colin's assistant.  He has a lot of "important work" to do at his desk

 Bike helmet?  Check.  Safety goggles?  Check. 

He found some work to do with some firewood and his tools

             
We took another trip to eh Safari Park

Planning out the route we are going to take today.

Some large pelicans were flapping their wings.

 We finally saw the bird show and it was very entertaining.

On a walk through on a scenic path

We were stalked for a bit by this bird

 Some adventures at home:

Sometimes you just need to take a break...in the driveway

Can you see the ginormous grasshopper we found??

Captain Colin driving his play structure/ship

 Yaya came to visit

Off to Coronado

No shoes on the sand...time to turn on the speed

There were some big waves and no changes of clothes

We did find some cool sand castles

On our trip to Ikea for dinner Colin measured some furniture

Playing with Yaya

Uncle Timmy came and we visited Old Town

There was a cannon

And a covered wagon

Plus a museum with stagecoaches

Mckenna slept over one night.

Bikes and scooters

We visited the Zoo, which was quite different from the Wild Animal Park

A leopard was spotted from out tour bus

Taking a minute to figure out where the polar bears were

These couldn't be polar bears...they weren't white.
They were, just very dirty and without ice/snow

In case you were wondering 

He wanted to climb the big one but settled for the baby statue

These jaguars walked around right next to us

Our favorite game was a made up game that
only Colin knew the rules to.

Not quite as many pictures this month.  Daddy has been a bit busier with tutoring and working at the challenge course.  Some prerequisite classes have also started now for the teacher credentialing program next fall.  Maybe next month we'll be able to add some mommy pictures too.
