July 4th Trip 2011

I will get caught up on blog posts... I will get caught up on blog posts....

We spent the 4th of July long weekend in San Diego. It was Zuri's 1st trip to San Diego and the beach. It was also my parents 1st time seeing her again since she was born. Thanks to Scooby Doo shows (which Kai and Rori have recently discovered and find hilarious) and Zuri sleeping the drive went great. We had a nice trip that basically involved the pool, the beach, some of our favorite restaurants, bike riding, baseball playing, and some fireworks over the ocean that we watched on Mom and Dad's patio. It was just the relaxed trip that we needed.






*We never used floaty type things with Kai, but we decided to try this thing out with Rori based on the fact that we knew we were going to be spending a lot of time at the pool this hot summer in Vegas with a brand new baby. Several friends here have used them and raved about them. So far it has been awesome and has given Rori complete independence in the water. It is also Coast Guard approved so it can be used on boats instead of the life jackets and it is made of styrofoam so it isn't going to pop like regular water wings. So the floaty parts are the arms and then a strip across the front. The back just has a clip and nothing floaty. I like this because it allows for a much more natural swimming position than a life jacket. Now I'm just nervous that she isn't going to love it when she can't wear it at swim lessons at the end of the month, but it is worth the risk for the added sanity it is providing me this summer.

Yes, the floaties make a world of difference when you have others to watch!! The group pictures in the pool are precious. I also love the one of Zuri - beautiful!!!
