Mount Laguna

Amazing weather at Petco Park yesterday, and a one hour drive to winter wonderland today - Why we love San Diego!

We couldn't wait to see Hayden's reaction but she decided the road trip was ridiculous and slept the entire time. Cole joined her on the ride home...

Padres FanFest

After swimming, we took the trolley downtown. We promised Cole we'd take him on it and the festival was the perfect opportunity - Did we get autographs?  Play on the field?  Nope. We hit the military zone, bounce house, and face-painting area! 

Months ago he wouldn't even think about going in one with kids he didn't know. His party? Becoming a big brother? Turning 3? Not sure what made our little guy so confident, but we're loving it!

Hiking Fools

Now that the weather is nice, we've been trying to hike every weekend.  Cole loves looking for bridges, streams, birds, bugs and prints ("We on an adventure!") while Hayden sits in the front carrier taking it all in.  We hike in 30 minutes and turn around - If we tried to go 61 minutes, our fabulous morning would  undoubtedly turn ugly.  Fine by us!  We just love being outside and exposing them to new places and things.   

So far we've hit Mission Trails, San Clemente Canyon/Marian Bear Park and Tecolote Canyon - Torrey Pines is next!

Snack break - Tecolote Canyon

A Fish Named Cole

This morning was Cole's first swimming lesson - He loved it! 

We started him off with four classes - Hopefully by the end he'll get comfortable putting his face in the water and blowing bubbles... If not, at least he's hanging out with other kids and learning to listen to teachers/instructions!



*One and only video/picture you'll see - Apparently the YMCA has strict camera rules - Nothing like getting approached by the lifeguards on your first day - OOPS!*

Crazy Girl

Hayden pulled herself up for the first time on January 18th - Train table, couch, Cole... You name it, she's using it to stand.  She'll last a couple minutes and start screaming hysterically because her legs are shaking or starting to split.  Help her down and she immediately pops back up.  I'm really hoping she gets some endurance soon because this game is exhausting.

Good Clean Fun
