The Crunching, Munching Caterpillar

Kai and Hailey found a really cute caterpillar on our tree outside and wanted to keep it as a pet!

They feed the caterpillar twice a day with plenty of leaves. When they get up in the morning they run up to the jar and smile at their cute, little pet! They can't wait for the caterpillar to turn into a beautiful butterfly!!!

Beach Time Fun!

Its been so HOT inland that we decided to go to Del Mar Beach. It was a 15-20 degrees difference! We had so much fun making sand castles and playing with the seaweed!!! Hailey got some sand in her eyes and fell asleep on her chair. Here are some pictures of our perfect day at the beach. (Double click to enlarge the pictures.)

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

We had such a fun time at the baseball game on June 12th, Padres vs. the Dodgers. Jake and I got to go alone without the girls and spend some time together. We got awesome seats, right behind home plate! The closer you are the more fun the game is. We even got to be on the big screen tv!!! The Padres won the game!!!

MEMORIAL DAY

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day! We were feeling very patriotic and decided to go to Point Loma. The weather was beautiful at the coast as we made our way towards the Cabrillo National Monument. We stopped on the way to find a Memorial service and listened for awhile as they honored soldiers that have died for us. We have never done anything like this and wanted the girls to understand why we have Memorial Day. A little ways up ahead was the monument. Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the first European to set foot on the West Coast in 1542. We also went to the Old Point Loma Light House built in 1855. It only operated for 36 years until it was too hard for sailors to find their way through the fog since it was 422 ft above sea level. A family called the Israels lived here for 18 years with their 3 boys and niece until the new Point Loma lighthouse was built at the end of the point on a lower elevation and they moved. The last place we went to were the tide pools. The girls loved splashing around in the water and playing with crabs!
