We enjoyed our time in San Diego with Grandpa Bob and Grandma Robyn. Their house is in a nice area and just a few miles from the Carlsbad airport.
We went to the beach on Saturday. The kids were not sure whether they liked it at first. After all, there was sand everywhere that gets all over you. We finally were able to build a sand castle with a miniature lake that was filled by the ocean water via a canal that Grandpa Bob built. The boys finally got into jumping the waves. Jesse or I would help them jump up just high enough to keep from getting smothered by the waves. Then Jesse and I went “boogie-boarding” together. Sunday we went to church and relaxed.
Monday we, except for Grandpa Bob, went to the San Diego Zoo. There was a lot to see. The animals we wanted to see were visible and often feeding, playing, or just pacing. We saw panda bears, koalas, orangutans, gorillas, hippos, a polar bear, grizzly bears, a tiger, a lion, a condor, a hornbill, and much more.
Tuesday we went swimming in a community pool (we also went Friday). The kids learned to overcome some of their fear of the water by swimming with just noodles, under close supervision of course. I pretended to be a sea monster and would go after them in the “kiddie” pool. They thought that was fun.
Above are some pictures of the beach. Soon I will post pictures from the zoo trip.
