4th of July Parade

Summer camp's 4th of July parade was last Tuesday. Everyone were dressed in their red, whites and blues and all the kids and babies were just adorable!

They started the parade in the school's hallways then proceeded outside for a quick round and ended in the sanctuary. It was earlier in the day, so the heat was still bearable and they didn't stay that long outside. Overall, it was fun and the kiddos get to strut and showoff their DIY project streamers and marracas and pinwheels! So fun and festive! 

Here's our little guy breaking up the line as he spotted mommy and showered her with hugs and kisses! 

4th of July at home was quiet and simple. We started early with a moviedate with the Amazing Spiderman. Then we grilled BBQ at home for dinner and watched the fireworks on TV! 

Bummed that we all have to go to work the next day :(

And here's my last minute patriotic tablecenterpiece I put together using my stand-by pantry staples. To check out the complete post, visit my other blog here! 

Sea World San Diego Part 2

Sea World was our destination for our second day in San Diego. It was a fantastic visit to say the least. Here are some of the highlights. 

Hanging out with daddy and meeting a few wet pals along the way, shamu and the dolphins. 

We were amazed and entertained by the troop consisting of the Cirque de la Mer show. 

The bayside sky ride was slightly scary with cable cars wobbling a bit in the strong winds but it was still a gorgeous ride viewing the Mission Bay from the sky! 

Some farewell shots but with an uncooperative tired little boy! 

4th of July Weekend Part 1

We took a quick trip to San Diego last weekend for a much needed break and thoroughly enjoyed the stay as we soaked on the beautiful weather. That was something I was really looking forward to ~ escaping the Texas humid heat even for just a short time. 

We stayed at this beautiful resort hotel right next to Legoland and we loved the convenience of how near this place was to the park and the nearby outlet mall. They even have their own private entrance to the resort which was a brief walking distance away. 

Aston right away jumped in the pool for an afternoon dip the day we arrived. It was difficult to get him out of there. We had to bribe him for a day at the waterpark if he gets out in time for dinner. 

Dinner was at the hotel's restaurant grill as it was Tapas Thursday night. Yum!

Next stop will be Sea World. 


I hope you all had a great July 4th weekend celebration as well!
