SEA WORLD Part II

We also went on the "gondola ride" over the ocean and the kids of course had to go to kids zone to "bounce around" and get their wiggles out.
Why is it they get tired of walking, but go to a kids play area and all of a sudden "instant energy" like you just gave them a can of Mountain Dew or something.

SEA WORLD!!!

We spent the day at Sea World with no lines. NOT!!!! O.K. Lots of lines, but we still had fun.
Of course the obligatory pic of the kids with the mascot. I don't know what it is, but when Tessa sees one of those characters it's like the world stops moving and that's all she sees.
We went to the top on a "sky ride" and got an aerial view of Shamu's tank and the dolphins tank. If you look close you can see them in the water.
The colorful picture is of "Cirque de la Mer". Imagine "Cirque Du Soleil" in water.
And Tessa holding a sea urchin. For some reason, Jared wants nothing to do with them.

Jared's Big Fishing Trip

l



Jared and Johnny went on a "Deep Sea Fishing Trip" with his work buddies. We were a little worried about "What if Jared gets sea sick and you're out on the ocean for 12 hours." But he didn't and he said he had a gerat time.'I wish they would of brought the camera with them so we could see the whales, porpoises, etc. Johnny caught a fish that he'll bbq on the weekend.
Tessa, well she called everyone on her cell phone.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game......

This was our first ever ball game. The "San Diego Padres". Jared got a baseball "Woohoo!!" As you have noticed Jared also got glasses. He's so G.Q.

Tessa liked the Bobble Heads and Mascot of course.

1st Day Of School!!

You know that Staples commercial and they're playing that Christmas song "It's the most wonderful time of the year", and the Dad is riding down the aisles on his cart with one foot in the air and his kids in tow getting school supplies?
O.K. it's not really that bad. We had a lot of fun over the summer.
Here's Jared and Tessa with their teachers. Can you tell by the body language that I just LOVE Jared's teacher?
I am so happy!!! As is Jared. He was so nervous the first day with butterflies in his stomach and throwing up. He was afraid of getting a really mean teacher. But at the end of the day, I asked him my nightly question. "What was the best part of your day?" and "What was the worst part of your day?" Of course Tessa told me the best part was "Getting M&M's from her teacher", Jared's answer was "meeting his teacher". He really likes her and he really deserves a great teacher this year.
