Sun bunnies

What a fun weekend we had! Beautiful weather, okay even more beautiful weather arrived in San Diego this weekend! It was mid 70s / low 80s and wonderful outside! Saturday morning we went to Spike's place for a swim. The kids had a BLAST! They were very insistent that they swim by themselves! No, they haven't learned to swim yet, but needless to say, they are both comfortable playing in the water. Perhaps a little too comfortable... We need at least a 1:1 ratio for swimming with them!

And since going swimming Saturday morning, Kyle has yet to take off his goggles. He wears them all the time except when he is sleeping. He wants the goggles to watch him sleep. Yes, he said that. So Mr. Bunny (Peter Rabbit) wears the goggles as he sits atop his bed watching Kyle sleep. And this morning (Sunday) when I went in to get the kids, the first thing out of Kyle's mouth was, "Can I wear my goggles now Mommy?" He's usually good for a "Hi Mommy!" or "What we gonna do today Mommy?" or "I'm all done sleeping Mommy!" He's all about his goggles!

So after swimming, Saturday late afternoon / evening, we ran over to Shelter Island for some swings and park fun (read: burn off energy because they napped until 5:30pm and we wanted to get them to sleep at some point that night!). And did they run! They both wanted to run, holding Jeff's hand. And they got some good tree climbing in as well. They sure are monkeys! Kyle just jumps right up on the tree. Emily likes to be lifted up into the tree, but then is just so content chillin' in the tree.

And today, Sunday, we did a beach morning. The kids had a great time boogie boarding, playing in the sand and hitting the paddle ball with friends. And yes, Kyle wore his goggles the ENTIRE time at the beach! Emily is asking where her's are so I think I may have two kiddos wearing goggles as a fashion accessory! Very "Big Daddy" - remember that Adam Sandler movie?! (Oh and probably TMI for many, but they have both learned to successfully pee outside in the absence of proper facilities, just like the boy in that movie did! So now I'm selective about when I carry the potty around with us with their new found skill!)
