the weekend

Saturday morning Chris had a meeting with someone for work that lasted most of the morning. After I took Cam to his gym class and brought him home for a nap, we packed up the car so we could head out to the beach as soon as he woke up. He loved the ocean when we were on vacation in Morro Bay so we were excited to take him again. Sure enough he planted himself in the sand and let the waves come and go, saying "more, more!" as they would leave.





After the beach, we headed over to Fashion Island to walk around and let Cam ride the carousel before coming home.

Today after church, we drove to Victoria Gardens. We have always driven by the big Bass fish shop, but never ventured inside because, well, we aren't fishermen. But after hearing from several people how neat it was we decided to give it a try. Holy cow this place is like Disneyland! They even have the shooting game like Disneylands has (in Frontier Land). It was fun to let Cam explore and to also be inside with the air conditioning.

Here we are inside the elevator that looks out to an aquarium. Cam was more interested, however, in the opening and closing of the elevator door.


Afterward we went over to my parents' house for dinner. On the menu was salmon, chicken, and steak...quite the meatfest! We have learned that to have a meal with others where we can actually talk at length, the best thing to do is to flip on Cam's new favorite show (this super cheesy DVD with kids from the 80's singing Bible Songs). Yes, I know at some point he'll need to learn to sit politely the whole time while the adults chat, but for now, I don't care and just want a peaceful dinner!
