Quail Botanical Gardens

The Quail Botanical Gardens opened a Childrens Garden recently, so when the opportunity came to explore the gardens for free, thru out housing community, we jumped on it. The girls did arts and crafts thru out the gardens, climbed on the new playground, stood in the middle of a sundial, and participated in their first drum circle. Lastly came the Bamboo Forest, I knew bamboo got giant but some of their bamboo is GIANT!

Look Ma...!

...I know how to use fancy settings on my camera! Ok- well only a little tiny bit, but I rather enjoyed playing with this particular setting. I am not sure, that I could do it again, or even tell you now, what setting this is. It was a fun day none the less experimenting. Magically I got the camera back to [auto]!

I really love this photo.

I Swimmin!

Hot summer days call for cool afternoons by the pool. Today it was just PJ and I at the Officers pool. We had a picnic lunch and well, PJ played with her towels, and mine for that matter. She does love towels.

Big Winds!

Spending sometime out on the open waters of the San Diego Bay. Robert keeps saying we are going to take a weekend trip to Catalina, I'll believe it when we are well on our way.

This is how I entertain PJ during the sailing trip. She loves it!

Watchout! Audrey does not have a license- Thank Goodness!
