Last Week with Daddy

This was Matt's last week here, so we decided to spend the time as a family, enjoying one another, and the beautiful city we live in!

On Monday, we decided to have a picnic at La Jolla Cove. We picked up some sandwiches, laid down a blanket, and enjoyed the sun and ocean! We played some frisbee and chased Rian around on the grass. It was the best day ever!!!



On Tuesday, we headed to Sea World for the day. They just opened up Sesame Play so we met some characters, which Rian did not enjoy, and rode on some new rides, which she did enjoy! Then we saw the Sesame Street 4-D show. Rian really liked it, even though she did not want to wear her glasses.








On Wednesday, we hung out at home and played some 'Rock Band'. If you haven't tried playing it yet, you should try, it's tons of fun! Then we enjoyed one last date night while Grandma Lois babysat. We ate at Benihana which was our always our restaurant of choice while we were dating, so that was a lot fun!



On Thursday, we had our niece and nephew, Aurora and Logan, over to swim. It was such a hot day, so the water was perfect. Rian even showed her cousins some of her tricks she learned at her swim lessons! And Rian went down half the waterslide for the first time! We were so proud of her!
On Friday, Matt packed in the morning. Then we just spend the day playing together and trying to stay cool in the 100 degree weather. We ended the night with a nice mexican dinner (Matt's choice of course) with my parents and Matt's dad (his mom was working). Then we came back home and Matt played with Rian a little more before he had to say good-bye to her and put her to bed.
It was such a fun week and we were so lucky to have the time to spend it as a family.

It looks like you guys had a great week! I'm sure this time will go quicker, being surrounded by your family. When Chris goes on his business trips (granted, it's only 6 days every couple of months!) it's always easier when Lauren is in town. I hope you will be able to visit Matt once or twice while he's away at school?
