Monday's are our Fun Days...

So last Monday June 14 Danny got early so we headed to the Zoo for a few hours. Danny had never been so he was really excited:) It was a quick trip, but those are my favorite because I am not a huge fan of the Zoo.

Atley loves getting her pic in front of this elephant.

She even made Daddy do it too.

then we had to get one with the gorilla.

 On the air tram.

Seeing the Polar bears. They were sleeping so weren't that fun to look at.

the Zebras were pretty cool.

On our way to see the hippos. 

we saw a monkey.

Then we saw the hippo.

This is the best shot we got of the panda he had his back turned the whole time.

Atley loved the gorillas.

he was trying to climb out and get Atley because she was so whinny.

while I was taking the girls into the bathroom Danny was playing with this peacock on top of the bathrooms.

After the Zoo we headed to Oggi's for dinner. It was such a nice day that we sat outside. It was a great end to a fun Monday evening.

Tulip loves to turn Danny's hat backwards. She says that he looks like John.

Atley making funny faces.

Tulip took a family pic.

This Monday June 21, We started of the day by walking over to the donut shop for breakfast, then we took a little walk to park. The girls love to swing. So it is a nice little break.

The girls were pretending that their sweatshirts were babies and they were pushing them in the swings. It was really funny.

it was really hard work pushing her baby.

Danny had to work 12 hours this day, but they were playing a movie on the beach on Coronado Base. I was going to take the girls because they love going to movies in the park and that is something that we don't have back home. (we do have drive ins, but they always fall asleep.) But to my surprise Danny wanted to come. What a super Dad:) We drove on Coronado and went to the beach where I thought they would be playing the movie and it wasn't there. So after driving around we found it on the grassy area, by the Navy lodge. It was very uncomfortable because we didn't have chairs, but the girls had fun.

tulip played catch with a couple of boys. She is such a social butterfly. She asked Atley if she wanted to play and she said no because she doesn't like anybody. 

San Diego Fair Sunday...

Sunday we went to the San Diego fair. I would love to say that my kids were perfect and we such a great time, but that didn't happen. Danny is anti having Atley ride in the stroller. He thinks that she is to old and she needs to walk. She is so stubborn and she cried and wined for the first 1 1/2 hours that we were there because she didn't have a stroller. I was so annoyed, but the only good thing was that Danny took care of her. Tulip on the other hand was very well behaved.
After Atley figured out that we were not renting a stroller or getting one from the car she was fine. So we did have some fun.

Tulip and I started off by milking a cow. Atley didn't want try it she was to scared.

Tulip did it all by herself.

the girls found the Geico gecko.

Danny found a fossil taller than him.

The best way to get the girls to not feel tired of walking is to play run freeze. Danny even played with them.

The girls got to try out some scooters. 

This man was amazing. I couldn't believe how well he played.

Here is a video 

This is the girls waiting inline to ride an elephant. I got to do this a couple of years ago when we were down here so this year it was Atley's turn. They loved it!!!

they look so small on top of that big animal.

The elephant even did a pose for the camera. 

Here is a video of the them riding .

Atley loves popcorn. If we would have given her this as soon as we arrived we would have had a whole different day.

We were only there for about 5 hours, but it seemed like we were there longer than Disneyland. I was really glad to get to go home.

Danny off on Saturday? What!?

 Friday we had to move out of our apartment in Mission Valley into another apartment in Linda Vista. It was only about a 10 min drive from our old place, but seemed so out of the way from everything. I was not happy at all about moving. We were supposed to be leaving Friday to come home. So when we weren't coming home and we still had to pack I was PISSED!!! Danny had to the day off so we could move into our new  place, but he had to be at work at 6p.m. So we spent the whole day moving. I only unpacked the the kitchen stuff and the girls clothes, I didn't want to unpack everything because we are supposed to be leaving on the 25th of June. After about 30 hours of being bad I got over it and started finding the positive. It is true there is always positive you just have to look for it. I had to look really hard!!!

Saturday Danny didn't have to work because he had worked until 3:30 a.m. Friday night so he had a Saturday off. Those are really rare. We had a great day it is amazing how much better everything is when you change your attitude. We started the morining off by walking to the Starbucks for coffee then to the local donut shop for breakfast. The girls got donuts and Danny and I had breakfast croissant. We love this place. It is a little hole in the wall family owned business that is the best. After our breakfast we took a little walk to the park to have the girls play. The love this park. I would go with Melinda when she was here 2 years ago and Anna and I took the kids once. 

Atley wanted to show me her donut.

Tulip wanted to show me hers, but is almost all gone.

Atley really loves to climb

I am so proud of how Tulip can do the swings by herself.

So right after I took this picture Tulip jumped off really fast, Atley ended up falling off and was crying really loud. These two boys come running over and was like where is the blood where is the blood. We told them that she wasn't bleeding and they didn't understand why she was crying if she wasn't bleeding. It was really funny.

After the park we went home to have some quiet time. We wanted to rest up for the Padres/Mariners game tonight. The girls were very excited to go the game we had so much fun the time before and they couldn't wait to play in the park. We were just going to buy tickets when we got there and while we were waiting in line they told us that the park tickets were sold out. We were so lucky because we got a military discount and ended up saving $21.

After we bought the tickets we had about an 1 1/2 hours before the game started. So we went to the Tin Fish for dinner. It was so crazy. I loved it. I love going to restaurants/bars with the kids that are so loud that you can't hear you kids wine about the  food and life:) Danny and I feel like we are  on date when we can't hear them. It is so much fun:)

I was a little nervous about the how the girls would do just having to sit and not being able to run around the whole game, but they did so well. I think they might have even done better then while we were at the park. 

Danny was only one in our family wearing Mariners gear, As everyone knows I am not a baseball fan so I could care less. (BTW you will never see me wear anything, but Seahawks gear:)

Daddy and his girls. 

Look at the cheese on my hands.

It was such a fun evening. The Mariners ended up losing which was sad for Danny, But the rest San Diego was happy.
