The Mac Kinnon Family

We left San Diego at 4 am, the kids fell back asleep for a little while but were up when we stopped for breakfast at 6:30. Both kids napped today...Emily buried herself in her blanket while Mac caught flies! Everyone is snuggled in, we picked up Grandma Jan on our way through Sacramento. I'm grateful for the company. Well be home tomorrow!

We had a great day with Holly today.  It started off with a visit to the arcade on the military base, which was free.  The kids loved the games you could "drive", which was surprising!  Then we took off for the beach.  The kids had a great time, Mac boogie boarded for the longest time and couldn't get enough!  Emily was a little afraid to go out too far in the water, but loved jumping the waves and making "sand soup" with seaweed and the nettles.  After some time in the sun, what could be better then ice cream, right?  Well we found ice cream that was about the size of your head.  Mac had a snow cone and Holly and Emily shared a monster ice cream cone.  It was an awesome day, we wish we had more time but our journey home begins before the sun rise tomorrow!   

Sunday morning after an awesome church service at Saddleback and a wonderful breakfast with all the family the kids and I headed to San Diego to visit Aunt Holly for a few days.  The kids couldn't wait to hit the pool yesterday and are excited to hit the beach today.  Mac wants to surf with Holly.....we'll enjoy lots of beach time today then we start our journey home tomorrow morning!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!    

After two busy days at Disney we had an easy morning then off to visit with Debbie and Donna, John's Aunt's.  We had a great time catching up and visiting with them. Then we were off to see Mike's work and to his apartment to see all his snakes.  He's got a variety of snakes and really knows his stuff!  Mac just loved seeing all the snakes, he got to hold Sammy's brother, lots of ball pythons and Pearl, a boa constrictor which I think was his favorite.  He helped Uncle Mike feed a few, even Emily enjoyed holding the snakes.  Although she enjoyed playing with "spicy", Mike and Sarah's dog....which we never got a picture of!  Next we were all off to dinner with more family, we enjoyed hanging out with Cheryl, the Dobbs family and of course Grandpa Neufeld and Mary!
