Spring Break 2012 in San Diego

We got to enjoy spring break this year in San Diego.  My brother has a home there. He and his family are in  Houston, however, for an oral surgery rotation, but they were kind enough to let us stay there anyway.  We really appreciate Jared and Janelle for letting us stay there.  The temps were in the 80s before we got there, but actually stayed around 60 for the week we were there (boo).  We had a great time together though.  We went to Point Loma and played in the tide pools and then hung out at Seal Cove in La Jolla.  We had lots of fun eating at the Corvette Diner (which moved locations by-the-way) too.  We ate great Mexican food in Old Town and even panned for gold at the Mormon Batallion.  We can't wait to go back.  The only thing that would've made it better was if Jared and his family were there to play with us.

Here's some pics at the San Diego Temple.

La Jolla.  There were about 25 surfers there.  We watched them from some benches for about an hour.  Great view.

Point Loma tide pools.  The kids found crabs, an octopus, shells, snails, and a dead lobster.  They loved it there.

4th of July

We had lots of fun this weekend over the 4th. Well, at least the kids did.  I was stuck studying most of the time.  I did take Saturday off and enjoyed a fun BBQ with family and friends.  We played a little put-put on Danny's new putting green, swam and broke in Dan's new grill with marinated turkey (our family favorite).

Enjoy some pics and a video or two.

Piano Recital

Brynley has been doing wonderful in learning the piano. She likes to memorize the songs given her to play, and enjoys playing. She really likes her piano teacher, sister Reynolds. Unfortunately, she's going to miss her next recital, and she'll definitely miss sister Reynolds. Here's a picture of her last recital.

Baptism

Brynley finally got baptized last week.  She did a great job.  Thanks to all the family who were able to make it.  Brynley and us really appreciated it.
