Fun in the Sun

Last week we took a little trip down to San Diego with my sister-in-law Katie and her family plus Eric's mom.  We had a great time and here are a few pics to prove it!  I have to tell something funny Tyler said at the start of our trip.  On the drive there we stopped at Carl's Jr..  Tyler did not like this, he wanted McDonald's.  Well, me and Eric are sick of McDonald's so since we were driving we decided on Carl's Jr.   We got Tyler chicken nuggets but he wouldn't eat them.  His complaint?  "I don't like these chicken nuggets!  These chicken nuggets taste like real chicken!"  Ha ha.
When we first went down to the beach there was a partial pit so the boys all helped make it bigger. Well, Eric and Tyler were trying to make it bigger.  While they were shoveling sand out Jacob was shoveling it back in.  Figures.   I was in the process of building a pretty awesome sandcastle but guess who came and stomped all over it when I wasn't looking? Jake the Snake.  Here's a few pics of the boys playing in the sand.  It is such a nice beach there--we stayed at the Navy Inn at Coronado.  What a great place!  You can walk right out the back door of your hotel room onto the beach.  Sweet!  No sandy cars to vacuum out or wet seats.  Now that's the way to go to the beach!

Eric found some little clams that would wash up in the surf.  If you watch them they would come out of their shells and wiggle themselves into the sand.  Cool!
Tyler had no problem getting down and dirty in the sand.  He also brought his goggles, put them on, kneeled down in the sand and stuck his face right in the shallow surf.  I wish I had my camera at that moment, but I didn't.  It was so funny.  We asked him if he saw anything.  He said, "I saw lots of sand."
And then Tyler buried Eric.  
Maggie was just enjoying herself.
One night we went out walking after dinner and Tyler had to pee.  There were no restrooms around so this is his solution...  At least he didn't pull his pants down around his ankles!
And for the big finale......(drumroll)........Maggie can get her feet in her mouth!  The other night in the bath, after weeks of being so close, she finally got her toes in her mouth.  And boy, did she like to suck on her big toe!  She is such a little chunk.  I love it!  Now she is obsessed with her feet.  She even grabs for toys now.  They grow up so fast!

Looks like so much fun. If my girls went to the beach, I think Gracey would love it but Emily would be OCD about bugs and sand.

Who knew? Chicken nuggets that taste like real chicken? I just might have to try that one out. :)

What fun! Wish we could have been there. Like usual, I am laughing at Jacob. What a funny little man. Wow, chicken nuggets that taste like real chicken, who would want that? I can remember when Josh could put his feet in his mouth, so cute. Love that Maggie!
