Day 1: We spent the morning at the YMCA pool in Santee. The pools there are awesome! They have a kids wading pool with a little play gym in the middle, and a big water slide that looked like a lot of fun, unfortunately it was not open this day (bummer).
Later this day we went to the craft store and picked out, you guessed it, crafts. Connor made a shirt with an iron on patch and we made some sun-catchers.
Day 2: Sea World!
Day 3: This day was spent at Coronado beach. We had so much fun I didn't take any pictures. Here's a visual; It was a gorgeous 75 degree's, there were white puffy clouds in the sky, and the sand was soft and fluffy. Ella ran around us in circles pretending to fall every few feet into the sand. Connor and I played a game of beach ping pong, minus the table. Yummy beach snacks were enjoyed, and a giant hole was dug (by Ella and Connor). Then we de-sanded with beach powder and said our farewells to the beach.
That night Troy and Connor went to Boomers for miniature golf, games, and go-carts. A fun boys evening, I stayed home with Miss El and enjoyed quiet girl time.
Day 4: Connor was flying home this day, so we were mellow. The morning was spent at the library and craft store (more patches for his shirt). Then we packed up his things and hung out in the back yard until it was time to go to the airport.
Now that Connor is gone Ella asks every morning were he is. To back up a bit, when we took him to the airport she was very upset that she could not get on the plane. I explained to her that Connor needed to go home to him Mom and Dad because he missed them. So when she asks me were he is if I say "at home in Phoenix" she tells me very loudly, "No MOMMY, he's with him Mom and Dad, uncle Chris and Auntie Mimi," I respond with, "oh yes you are right." This happens several times a day. What can I say she loves her cousins!
