Wild Weekend

This weekend was full of events! My sister, Candice and her hubby Brian, came down from LA (on Candice's birthday) to hang out with us and show Brian around San Diego to help decide where they are going to live. My sister is a surgeon and is deciding between Yuma Arizona and San Diego (we are hoping here!) Ella and I went on a real estate tour with them to check out some beautiful homes up in Mt. Helix (a richy area in San Diego) It made me so envious that they are in the market to buy a home! I love looking though homes and seeing different layouts etc.! After the tour, I did Brian's and Cana's hair (a birthday request) I think they had fun! :) Then it was out for some fun downtown! We got a babysitter (thanks Shannon) and headed to this cool restaurant that also had karaoke! None of us were brave enough to get up there and sing but it was sure fun watching! We had a blast!

The next day, my sweet friend Rachel was in town on a celebratory family vacation (her husband, Steve got a great new job!) We meet up with them at Sea World and checked out the newest attraction: The bay of play! It is a little kid's wonderland!! The kids were in love, they had soo much fun! It was super hard to drag them outta there! It was sooo very nice to see Rachie and her cute little family. I loved seeing how much her girls have grown! That evening we when out for sea food at this great fish n' chips place in Sea Port Village! Can you say, yummy! We had so much fun with them and I hope they come back and play really soon!!

Fun times!

Yummy Seafood!

I love my Rachie!!

The following day, Dan and I headed up to LA, to see my sister's place where she has been living doing her fellowship. They showed us the sites around their place. After that we headed out to Venice beach which if you have never been there, it is quite an experience! (to say the least!!) The board walk is like a Circus act! Every where you look there is something crazy or unusual going on! It was fun! I love people watching and this is the best place to watch em'! After Venice beach we headed over to Santa Monica Pier which has a carnival right on the Pier! We played around, ate, and had a great time enjoying each others company! Candice had invited some of her other friends and their spouses as well.

All in all a very fun filled weekend, that was non-stop! We loved that Dan was able to play as well! By the end we were all a little tuckered out! Especially Ella who hadn't had a good nap in the last three days. She just passed out from the fun in the sun!
