running for the hills!

look for all the fun pics in my album! there were way way too many cute ones to include them all!



well, maybe not really running for the hills, but on Monday last week, Trevor decided we really needed to get out of here! so he took Friday off and we left for san diego Thursday night. yay! thanks so very much Cyndi for letting us crash with you guys for the weekend. it was so much fun! Craig loved playing with Emma, getting so much attention from his Aunt Cyndi. and the turtles were so much fun!




Friday, we hung out on the beach. Saturday, we went to a park for a ward picnic and then got free tickets to go see the USS Midway. we spent about 3 hours there! Craig loved walking around. we then went to a delicious Mexican restaurant, Pinata in old town and saw pet kingdom! totally cool! and of course, a treat at Golden Spoon! yummy! Sunday, we went to sacrament meeting and then travelled home! we had pretty good traffic both ways and Craig just got a little anxious about an hour out of vegas.

While at the beach, Craig loved to just jump onto the sand, similar to a belly flop! he loved it though! he did it several times. also, when we went down by the water, he took a handful of sand with him several times. it was so funny! Cyndi and i would crack up over it! we would step in the water and Craig would run back up to the sand. he grabbed a handful of sand and then i could walk him back out by the water. Then, Emma had karate that night, so we left around 3. which was nice, actually, because by then, we were all pretty tired and full of sand.

that night, we just relaxed. Craig had fun looking at the turtles. we all got baths and showers and felt better.

the next morning, we got ready and went to a fun park right by the beach and had a ward picnic/barbeque. after that, around 1, we took off for the U.S.S. Midway and we spent from about 2-5pm there. it was very nice. Trevor and i had already been there, but there were some new things that they had fixed up and had to tour. also, there just isn't enough time to really get everything in. it is always fun going somewhere like this with Trevor because he knows a lot about planes and helped all of us understand things. Craig loved walking around, especially up on the flight deck! he would just walk around jumping on the hooks.
