YaYa & PaPa!

YaYa & Papa came to visit over Memorial Day weekend and they came bearing gifts:
new golf clubs to play at the park:
We ate a lot...
We walked to a new restaurant close to our house for brunch.
We took them to one of our favorites:
The Shake Shack:



 We got amazing cinnamon rolls and walked around Balboa:
The kids were so happy to see them.
We can't wait to see you {and eat with you!} again in Coronado!

all about ocean animals

For our last Friendship Corner {at our house}, 
I decided pictures of sharks could easily win over 5 year old boys, 
so we went with an 'ocean animal' theme:



What sweet boys this little 'school of fish' are!

postcard-worthy

Regarding the last post about how they want to swim every day....
It helps that our neighborhood pool looks like it could be on a postcard.
Ok, kids-  you talked me into it!

swim...SWIM...swim

My boys are water-logged.
They can't get enough of the pool!
Yesterday, we asked them if they wanted to go to the beach or the pool and they both wanted to go to the pool!
Who's kids are these?
We're also taking swim lessons, so they get some extra pool time there.
