Part 3 of the trip was spent on Mission Bay camping with Gramma and Gramps in their RV. The weather was absolutely beautiful in true San Diego fashion reminding me why I love San Diego!!!
The girls on their "new to them" bike/trike that Gramma and Gramps got for them. Hannah and I went for many bike rides around the bay (thankfully Gramma had a bike I could use).
A day at the beach! Gramma went in the water with the girls while Mommy took a nap! Because we were on the bay there were no waves which let Emme be much more comfortable in the water...even "diving" under with Gramma. Later that day, Hannah and I swam out to the buoys too which was further than I thought, but good exercise. And then again when the noodle floated out, I had to once again swim out to almost the buoys to retrieve it.
Cuddles! So cuddly that Emme almost fell asleep like this.
One of Hannah's favorite parts...climbing up to the roof of the RV.
One of the days, we drove to my good friend Karen's house for a visit. The kids had loads of fun playing in their backyard.
Hannah, Emme, and K's 2 oldest Cameron and Ryan (Sawyer was napping).
KK and I...so great to see old friends!
Another day we went back to Sea World with Gramma and Gramps (we had a return day for free with our original ticket).
Hannah wanted me to take a picture of this flamingo.
Inside Turtle Reef (check out the big turtle swimming above Hannah's head). Next was Shark Encounter (Hannah didn't like that one as much)
Gramma was nice enough to go on Riptide Rescue with Hannah (that's her little hand waving next to Gramma). Hannah is now tall enough to ride all of the big kid rides and within the 2 days rode Sea World's 2 roller coasters, Journey to Atlants and their newest, Manta! They were quite thrilling!
Holding a starfish.
Emme as usual sleeping the day away! For a none napping girl, this is how she dealt with the time change...naps every day.
Hannah petting a bat ray! Slimy!
Such a fun day at Sea World!!!
And then as we were leaving, we came across Shamu's block party with dancing, etc.
Emme had the best vantage point.
The girls (and Gramps) with Shamu!
And then we went to spend the day with Buddy Joe!
And on our last night (after spending another day at the beach), we went into Old Town to Casa Guadalajara for dinner with my Aunt JoAnn and Uncle Garrel.
Finally, it was time to say goodbye...something Hannah really doesn't like. She always has the hardest time saying goodbye to Gramma and Gramps! She wouldn't even look at me to take the picture.
Emme had an easier time, but told Gramma she was going to miss her!
A half smile from Hannah....
Gramma and Mommy!
and Hannah...with a smile.
Self portrait!
Oh how we love sunny San Diego, but we were happy to get home and more importantly, to see Daddy!!! The girls did amazing on the flight with no troubles (just a lot of trips to the bathroom) which made it so easy for Mommy. And were so excited to see Daddy!
