Paddleboarding

All three of us!

One Saturday we went down to the Carlsbad Lagoon with some friends to enjoy the Paddleboard Demo Day. If you've never tried stand-up paddleboarding, you really should. It is so much fun! McKay however, wasn't quite so sure about it at first. He sure had a tight death-grip on Jeff the entire time, when they went out. Toward the end, I finally got him to sit down and face forward with me. We had a great day and I can't wait until next time!

The Fair

This is right before the little piggy show started, where baby pigs race around a miniature track. Once it began, McKay wouldn't have anything to do with it. He buried his little head into his chest and then into mine for the entire show. I couldn't even get a peek out of him. I decided it must have been the noisy crowd, bells, and microphone he was so terrified of..

Seeing it was one of the few free things to do at the fair, we did lots of ring, horseshoe, and bean bag tossing.

Love that face! :)

My little brother, Britt, came to stay with us for most of June. We always love having him, he's the best. McKay can't seem to ever get enough of his uncle 'Bit'. We decided it would be fun to venture to the Del Mar Fair one day. McKay loved the elephants, animals and the kettle corn, of course! And Britt got pretty good at the horseshoe toss, even though he did get schooled by the eighty year old running the booth. ;) All in all, we sure had a great day of it!

Go Padres

One weekend, we rode the Coaster down to the Padres Game.

McKay loved riding the big train. Every time we pass the tracks he calls out 'choo choo'.

Go Padres!

A few weekends ago, we rode the Coaster down to a Padres game. It was so much fun spending time as an 'all American family'. Train rides, baseball, good friends, game food, and lots of cheering, we all sure had a blast!

Walking in Somebody Else's Shoes

McKay loves shoes. Just like Mommy. Just like Daddy. These pictures make me think about what it's like to walk in McKay's shoes. Not literally, of course, but figuratively. Wow, what an amazing little person I get to have walking by my side each and every day!
