Beach again

This is what it looked like back in Raleigh. 

Boohoo we had to stay in San Diego longer. We cried many (joyous) tears over staying longer back in San Diego. Oh how we miss living there. Anyone who knows us knows that we love the beach, Coronado especially. So we hit the beach again to surf, boogie board and play in the sand. And during the week, in February, with school in session, it's pretty empty. We didn't mind one bit. 

Kyle had some fun sand surfing. And I had some fun playing with the slo-mo feature on my phone. 

Lake Tahoe adventure

We had a wonderful time skiing in Tahoe in February. Not only did we get to ski, but we got to ski with our San Diego friends. Aaron was reunited with his love, Alice. And we all had a great time together.

For some crazy reason, we thought a 6am flight was a good idea... something about getting into Tahoe with daylight and time to get equipment for the next day. Nonetheless, we made it and adjusted and had a wonderful trip to Tahoe. 

The lady who drove us out to Heavenly from the airport made a stop at Lake Tahoe for Aaron to go potty. (Great timing Aaron!) And we got a great view of the lake. 

We hadn't planned on Aaron skiing, but when we went to get our equipment, he didn't want to be left out. So he got skis as well. And as you will see, he skied.

The super early flight and 3 hour time change was hard on Aaron.

Emily, Kyle & Ian

Skiing is exhausting! So are jet lag and time changes. 

Aaron up for another try at skiing

After 2 days of ski school, the big kids - Kyle, Emily & Ian - skied with us

Early August beach

So I don't actually remember the full details (i.e., when) these pictures were taken, but I do remember they were some awesome times out enjoying the San Diego sun with friends. 

Emily built a fun mud castle on the beach at Coronado with Betsy's kids. 

Aaron got really tired at the pool with Kyle & Emily's old preschool buddies. He asked to be covered up because he was cold. But when we peeked under the towel, he was sleeping.
