Bryant's Visit

We had a great visit from Unckee-T, Auntie Meg and Bryant this past week.  We had a blast showing them all that Southern CA has to offer.  Bryant is such a mellow little guy and I think he was a bit overwhelmed by his 2 crazy cousins.  They had so much fun together, though!

Day 1: Aquarium - Olivia and Bryant are perfect ages for the aquarium right now.  With the tanks down low enough for them to catch a good glimpse of all the fish, they were quite taken!

Day 2: Zoo

A nearly impossible task - Getting 3 kids to all look at the camera at the same time.  This was the best, if only the big kid was looking!

The whole week afforded lots of time for outdoor play...

Love the mischievous look Madeline is giving Bryant here!

Love this girl!

Sisters!

Lunch on the patio!

This little guy can really put away the PB&J!

Day 3: Beach (at which I got no pictures!) and dinner in Del Mar followed by sunset at the park

Can you tell that my theme for the night was silhouettes?

Beautiful sunset!

Silly girl!

Having lots of fun!

Day 4: One really full day at SeaWorld

Feeding the sting rays

Checking out Olivia's favorite...the penguins

Olivia and Bryant had their first tastes of popcorn while waiting to see Shamu.  Can you tell that Olivia didn't like it! :)

Shhhhh, but she may have had some churro, too!

Up close and personal with the sea turtle.  This looks like a painting, but this turtle was right up against the glass of the tank.

While the babies slept, Madeline got to enjoy some big girl time on the rides

While the dads watched the kids, the moms got to enjoy some screams and laughs on the big girl rides!

Family photo!

The girls climbing the nets.

A full day at SeaWorld required a dunk in the tank for these 3 little fish!

Day 5: Checking out the new exhibit at the Children's Museum

Hey Grandpa, can we paint your tractor?  We're skilled professionals!

Take down successful!

Little Picasso!

Bubbles!

We were sad to see them leave today, but we have great memories of their visit.  Madeline said to me this afternoon, "Bryant had to go home today.  I think he is going to miss me, maybe he will come back on Sunday!"

Come back and see us again soon!  We still have a lot of exploring to do!
