While mom's away the family will play

I had a training class for work in San Diego and once we realized Craig would be off the entire time I canceled my flight & we all drove out instead! While I was at work, Craig and the girls went to Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, & the Wild Safari Park.  Then at last, I would be done with work and we could head down to Del Mar beach for dinner & sunset :) 

One thing we will try to avoid, however, is driving home late.  Tired girls = miserable drive home.  The hope was that they would just pass out but Drew cried for nearly an hour and Allison had a meltdown because her butt fell asleep and she wasn't sure what was going on. She screamed "what's happening to me??" and was inconsolable.  We had to pull over and put a blanket under her butt, hoping the entire time that Drew wouldn't wake up.  It was madness.  But looking back, once I figured out why Allison was crying it was kind of humorous.  Just one more piece of knowledge we take for granted as adults: butts fall asleep, and this too shall pass. 

                       Ahhh bears! 

         Mmmmm chocolate ice cream!
