Wild Animals

We have had another nice week. San Diego really has been a great place to live so far. The only downfall is missing our WI friends so much! Other than that this place is great!

Nathan still just adores school and everything relating to it. His "low point" yesterday (when we played high point, low point at dinner) was that he didn't get to go to school! He just comes out of school in such a great mood everyday and he is already learning so much! Me and Jack really are enjoying going to pick him up everyday and having time to play on the playground and I like getting to know the other moms and things as well.

Yesterday we went to the Wild Animal Park (affiliated with the San Diego Zoo). We have been there twice now. It was great-we didn't go until after 6:00 p.m. so it was cool and the sun was setting before we left so it was really pretty. We have season passes so we can just go like that anytime we want. It is only about 15 minutes from us. We went to "The Poop Show" while we were there-Nathan really got a kick out of that! The boys were so sweet with each other-they walked around holding hands and talking. Nathan, being the crazy kid he is, wanted to wear his backpack the whole time so we let him.



I also got to go to the temple yesterday. That was wonderful! To drive 20 minutes, do a session and drive 20 minutes home is paradise after the 10 hour days of driving to Chicago and trading off with the kids and things. Plus, San Diego is the most beautiful temple I have ever been in. It is astounding-I just love it.

Tomorrow we are going to buy a grill! That was one of the things we (ok-I) really wanted to get when getting to San Diego so we can BBQ all year! So we plan to get one tomorrow and spend the evening BBQing, slip n sliding and planting some flowers.

Dallen has some new tricks-he dances, he can get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth and will be crawling any day now and the poor kid is cutting at least 4 teeth! (Might be 6 even-I am not sure yet.)

Here is a picture or two from our beach trip last week. We love the beach!
