Sheet Fort in the Back Yard

Everyone is sick today. Baby's taking a nap... rest of them are watching Despicable Me... I'm working on my blog. Enjoying seeing photos of happy, healthy faces.

A couple months ago I made a sheet fort in the backyard. Vince was at the movies watching Cars3 with dad so he's not seen here.

Yes Fresca, you are cute as a button!

Time to get away from the computer! My eyes are tired...

We really don't eat that!

This isn't exactly what I had in mind when I bought these

cute chalkboard labels from etsy .

Thanks Vince, thanks alot.

Jessop Farms Berry Picking

Last week we went to Jessop Farms for blueberry and strawberry picking.

The purple sand was so bright!

The bouncy house was a lot of fun!

The strawberries were the best!

Veronica tried gnawing one off the plant!

The Fun in the Sun Trip

Monday, May 23, the kids and I climbed into the car early in the morning and drove to San Diego. Here we are at the end of the afternoon... on the beautiful beach of Coronado. We saw a really cool sand castle built by

The Sand Castle Man.

Vincent built a sand-boat. The sand was so powdery and white.

The next day we spent hours at the beach and the pool.

There's our hotel in the backround! The famous Hotel Del Coronado. We got to stay there courtesy of Jason's employer. Of course he had to work the whole week. We barely saw him. :(

Zack's Hotel shot!

And Francesca's.

Veronica was happy to be free in the sand.

The water was chilly but of course the boys got completely soaked.

This was taken in the pool area.

The hotel at dusk.

The kids loved the spa.

Francesca floated around saying "hello" and "I swim" to all the other hotel guests.

The girls and I went on a walk while my dad took the boys fishing.

Francesca and I shared a bowl of clam chowder at this restaurant.

Then she loved tossing coins in this fountain.

Veronica slept through the whole walk.

Our last full day there was spent at the San Diego Zoo.

Zack and Francesca loved feeding this friendly goat.

Vincent was happy to see the cute pandas.

And very excited to see this two headed California King snake!

The sleeping Koalas looked so cuddly.

The day we left San Diego we drove to my sister Kathy's.

Here's my nephew Christian and Zack wrestling.

We met our dad at a Ventura Beach one of the days.

Veronica loving the sand again.

It was too windy though so we packed up and hit the park.

My dad's friend, Kenny, accompanied him on the trip.
