Z Day at the Bay

My Zeugschmidt grandparents have been married 66 years as of tomorrow Aug. 1. We had a wonderful family celebration at Mission Bay on Sat. It was great to reconnect with my cousin Shauna! She has a wonderful family and it was great to get to know each other as adults. Z Day was a blast and we talked about it being an annual tradition! Ryan and Shelia brought paddle boards and a jet ski. It was wonderful to see Julia! I paddled boarded for the 1st time and had a blast. My legs are sore today and I loved my new adventure. There is a story with the ice cream cart. My mom did awesome decor- Route 66 theme for the 66th anniversary. So cousins...let's do this again!!

Wanna See Them Wipe Out?

Waka Waka Dance

Addy has learned this cool dance at school. She is a great dancer!

Tyler's Wipeout at the Wave

It was in the mid 90's today so we headed to the Wave Waterpark in the afternoon. I rocked the fake wave. No tricks but I stayed in it forever. Tyler did an awesome wipe out. All three kids got up on their knees in the wave. it was a lot of fun. When we got home we had a crazy thunder storm with lots of rain and lightning. Super cool!

Addy flipped her tube

We camped with the Bennett family at the San Luis Rey River this last weekend. This video of Addy is so funny!

Happy Birthday America!

It was our 2nd year spending the day in Coronado for the 4th. We'd love to have you join us next year! It is better than Christmas. Shawn carefully packs our loot into a wagon for the trek to the perfect spot. The Parsons have been doing this for decades and we're so glad they've included us in this perfect secret. Cole, Corbin, and Chandler spent the day working on a laptop that had washed up. Tyler played football on the golf course with friends and strangers. Addy loved having Ashley paint her face. Addy won a beach chair from the radio station near by. Ashley and Kevin were awesome to take us out on their boat for rides on the raft. The Coronado Golf Course is opened up to the public for America's birthday. A barge rolls in with the fireworks just before dusk. The Coronado fireworks are directly in front of us while 3 other fireworks shows are in the distance. KYXY radio station broadcasts next to us with patriotic music. The kids are covered in glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces. To our left is the Coronado Bridge and to our right is the Hotel Del (which I call the Hotel Adelle). We eat and eat and eat and life is great!

Will You Sit By Me At The Fair?

The kids and I ran away to the circus... oh I mean the fair. The theme is Taste the Fun. We went on Tues. where many of the food stands had a $2 item. Fair food is so expensive it was a real treat. The kids tried lots of fair food... pizza on a stick, cinnamon pretzel bites, potatoes on a stick. Tyler, Cole and I went on the kid ferris wheel. It was scarry! Addy slid down whirly slides and said it was the best day of her life. She has lots of those. We saw monster trucks, our friends' pigs, a one man band, and the famous hypnotist. I love the garden show and we ate our fair food while looking at beautiful garden ideas. We ended the day listening to a bit of the Uncle Kracker concert.
