San Diego Trip

Our week in California was great! We started off heading to wards Crystal and Steve's house early Friday morning. Yes it WAS a long drive, especially with Bridget!
Once we got to Crystal's, we were ready to crash. Saturday, Bridget enjoyed playing with her cousins in their swimming pool and running around with the Nerf guns Nana bought them.

The next morning we headed out early for LA to make it to the Angels vs. Yankees game. Our tickets said we were in the family "pavilion". No, we were NOT in a "pavilion" we were in the dead heat! It was fun, but once again, Bridget was not comfortable until we went to the restroom for the 3rd time, changed her,and soaked her hair with water. She then fell asleep on Nana's lap.

After the game, we headed down to check into our place in San Diego. We bought a guys time share week off ebay, so when we checked into the Laurence Welk Resort, we all felt like we were at a retirement home with all the elderly people everywhere! It was a VERY relaxing place and a lot of fun things to do there. Josh was even thinking about purchasing our own timeshare! (Good find Mel!)

While in San Diego, we went to SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo.

weekend fun

We had quite the eventful weekend with Josh finally having a day off! Friday we hung out waiting for the 2nd set of insulation people come to our house for about 4 hours. Josh had planned to go out camping in Wellsville, but since these guys took a while, and by the time we got back home from getting hot dogs and mallows from the store, it was already getting dark. So we camped in the back yard! Bridget LOVED it! She even ate all her hot dog, and roasted "burnt" her marshmallows all by her self!

Josh woke us up at 5:30 to head out to the dam before sunrise for a morning of fishing. A fish tugged on his line a bout a half hour after we had got there.

Josh pulled it out so Bridget could check it out. She was a little afraid of it flopping around, and was sad that it was "hurt".

Trying to keep her attention at it became a little hard after a while and she wanted to go to the slide that she could see across the dam. So I took her over to play while Josh kept fishing. After about 10 minutes we hear "wahoo!" from across the dam and then maybe 5 minutes later again... "wahoo!" I told Bridget that we had better go checkout what Dad was so excited about.

He had caught two more! We only kept two.

For all of you that know Josh, he does not like to gut his fish. However, I have proof that he attempted on his own. And yes, he was afraid of his sister in-law seeing this cause it's not the "right" way! HA HA!

We ended up taking the fish out to my dad. He said he would enjoy them, and later that night when they watched Bridget for us. And she even ate some too, and liked it!!!

Josh and I went to the Blaze game. It was interesting to watch arena football. Even though they lost, it was a great date!


Now just 4 more days until our grand vacation to California!! Wahoo!

Baby Animal Days

This year at the American West Heritage Center's, Baby Animal Days they had baby bear cubs. They were very cute, but couldn't really get a good look at them being bundled up in the care-takers coats. This was the cutest baby bear there anyway!

Bridget wouldn't touch the bunnies, piglets, or little chicks, but she didn't seem to mind the ponies and pigme goats. She REALLY liked the goats this year.

(don't mind the belly shot!)

Josh had to do a LOT of convincing with the ducklings. I think she liked them too, cause she is still talking about ducks.
