Visitors!

Sean's twin brother and his wife Margaret came down and spent a few days with us in Yuma. I was so excited to have somebody coming to stay at our house. When you live in a place where your whole family lives nobody ever comes to stay, but now that we live about 1000 miles away I think we will have a few more house guests. We had a great time with them and we want them to come back soon. We spent a lot of time in the pool out back. We even made up a great version of pool baseball. Sean didn't have a lot of time off of work, but when he did we went to Famous Dave's and had some delicious barbecue. One of the days that they were here we headed over to San Diego. We stopped at the temple only to be a little bit disappointed because it was all covered in scaffolding (they were power washing and painting it). This was the only part of the temple that wasn't covered up. It is such a beautiful temple, but it looked a little funny to us.
We also went to an aquarium that was just off the coast - I think it was called Birch's Aquarium. They had lots of pretty fish to look at and some interactive things as well. Jack thought the fish were pretty mesmerising

June got to touch a starfish with the help of Aunt Margaret.



There were some sharks there too. Not as big as this one we are in here, but cool non the less.


After the aquarium we headed over to the beach. Thanks to Margaret's GPS we were able to find a great spot. Here are my two beach babies just enjoying the sand.

This is me headed out to play in the waves. The waves on this beach were pretty big. We saw quite a few surfers out in the water. I just love having waves crash over me and trying to catch them and ride them into the shore.

June once again loved the sand, and this time she even had rocks to play on.


I didn't put Jack in the water this time (he got too cold last time) but he was content to just sit there and watch all of the action.

After playing in the waves I was pretty covered in sand. My hair was a mess. If you look closely you can see it caked to my hair. I have washed it several times now, and I can still feel sand on my scalp.


It was wonderful to have Brett and Margaret to play with, and I was so happy they came out of there way to be with us. Hopefully they were just the first of many visitors that come our way.
