In The Summertime

My friend Lizzy was in town this past week 

and there was fun to be had while she and her 2 boys were here.

Lela, me, and Liz treaked all 9 kids (1 newborn and 3 toddlers in that group mind you) and all the beach gear solo down to Coronado beach to soak up some sun with these little minions of ours. I think we handled it pretty well, between watching and counting kids every second to make sure all 9 were there.

Go us! for the win.

Ella had the odds in her favor,
since she was the only girl amongst all our 8 boys

 Seems like she didn't mind one bit ;)

Ollie stealing every ones snacks...
he loves to snack just like his mama

 Sand caves to play in...aka kid heaven

proof that Leo was there too :)

Next day, we were off too the zoo.

 They have a new Australian Outback Kola exhibit

They are just too cute and cuddly up there, all snug in the tree tops

 And our lil kolas. Little baby bestises

 How can it be a good visit in the summertime with out a dip in the pool?!

We BBQ with friends poolside....aka grownup heaven

(even better if we could get a nap poolside...a mom can dream right?!)

Grill masters Sean and Dan

Ollie enjoying his 1st ever hot dog. nom

The guys all wanted to run and cannonball into the pool and last min Dan backed out, which made Sean spray him with the squirt gun till he had to jump in anyway....Men...aka giant toddlers :) ;)

 Look at the these two cuties lounging poolside

 We're teaching them young

True Cali boys right there

    We had a few girls nights and Lizzy got some Leo snuggles in

 Hurry back to play soon....San Diego already misses you!
