Father's Day Weekend

This past weekend was definitely busy!  My whole family came out to San Diego.  We haven't all been together in a few years.  Not since my brother Dave's wedding.  It was awesome seeing everyone and spending time together.

On Saturday we all drove up to a picnic in LA for my Dad's high school reunion.  Than on Sunday we all went up to my Father in law's house to celebrate Father's day and we were able to get some family pictures done.  Note to self... maybe in the future I should hire a photographer to do family pictures than try to do it myself.  It was a bit of a nightmare trying to put the whole thing together and than trying to take pictures as well as be in them.  Thankfully I had some help from Don's Dad and my Aunt for the ones I was in.  But I now have sympathy for my clients that try to set up family pictures for a big group.  I am definitely humbled by that experience and can sympathize with them.  Especially with last minute changes/unexpected things.  It really kept me on my toes.  

Than Sunday afternoon/evening we went to Seaport Village and walked around/took pictures.  That was so much fun.  I think that was my most favorite part of the weekend.  I could try and describe it all here, but I like pictures to go with my stories so here they are!

I was setting up this shot and caught this one.  Apparently my brother's are part monkey

All the Grandkids!!!

The whole family

No kids!!! We ditched them all!!! I mean oh how sad... ;o)

I am not sure who took this shot but this tree branch looked like a dragon.  It was kind of cool.

This is at Seaport Village.  This guy was balancing these rocks and he didn't use anything to make them stick together.  It was amazing.

There were a bunch of parrots at Seaport Village too.  They were gorgeous!

We loved this carriage that goes through Seaport Village.  It's so pretty!  It was rightly named Cinderella's carriage.  Too bad it is a minimum of $40 to ride in it. :o(  It seems over rated...

And last but not least, a short video of Jackson.  He is growing so fast.  He is holding his bottle already.  He has been doing this for awhile, but this was the first time I had a video camera to record it.  He is so funny when the bottle pops out of his mouth.  It cracks me up.  I know you guys can be honest.  I am probably the only one who finds it adorable. ;o)  He is also starting this spitting noise with his mouth.  He seems to do it when he is bored.  I notice it more when he wakes up in the morning and when he is in the car in his car seat.
