Fun with GGD (Great Gram D)

Gram D (my dad's mom) came out from Arizona for 5 days while Lindsay & Lisa were in town.  This was her first time meeting Ella (Lisa's daughter) and Cole.  Gram D stayed with us since my parents house was full and we had a GREAT time with her!  For days after she left Sydney would wake up and ask to go in Gram D's room :)

Sistas visit

My youngest sister Lindsay is getting married in San Diego in January so had planned to come out last week to finalize wedding plans.  Lisa and her kiddos flew out from Texas so we could have a par-tay for Lindsay before she ties the knot.  

It was so fun for the cousins to get some time together as well during the week.  The weather was gorgeous the week they were here which made it easy to play outside most of the days. 

*Lots of pics*

We headed to the zoo one morning:
Sydney and Jospeh by the lion statue right when you walk in the zoo.  We had to convince them to keep going to see the real animals

Cheese!

Taking a break with the animal foot massage

Huge for the camel statue

Shubba the elephant


So sweet.  They did this all themselves!


Sydney stopped and said "picture please!"


Auntie Lindsay and Syd checking out the jaguar

We headed to Solana Beach one morning to go the beach/playground. 
Not a bad view from the swings!
