The Boys Are Back in Town

We are back from our fabulous trip to Emerald Isle in North Carolina. Ryan and I are having some trouble adjusting to the time change and have been sleeping a lot...Mom said that's just fine.

Most people who read this were either on the trip with us or have already heard about it, so we won't spend too much time with the details. The important points:

• a house right on the beach is a great thing
• we love spending time with family
• mom will never fly alone with me and Ryan again
• Mexican jumping beans make a gigantic mess when you knock a whole display of them over in the airport
• Delta is the worst airline ever
• we wouldn't trade the week we spent in NC for anything

Pictures are on Mom's facebook page HERE if you are interested...

Here is the only video Mom took while we were there.



We've been trying really hard to get Ryan's new trick on video, but it's not as funny as it is in person. Here we are playing together.



Love,
J

Date Day

Mommy and I had a date today. We dropped Ryan off at Grandma and Grandpa's house, picked up some lunch, and headed off to the beach!

We ran around on the playground for a while. Mommy and I went down all of the slides, tested out the swings, chased each other around in the sand...so much fun!

I even made "sand angels." Yes, sand angels. I may well be the only kid from San Diego who has thought to do this, but it worked pretty well.



Then, we crossed the boardwalk to the beach and got good and dirty. We ran around the edge of the water (it's FREEZING, but apparently tourists don't care...?), picked up shells, write our names in the sand, and then built a sand castle. We dug a really deep hole and mom let me jump in it.


I'm not sure who had more fun, me or mommy!


Love,
J
