Grandma was in town for a few days last week and we didn’t waste a single minute while she was here.  Aside from our usual stroller walks, errands and park playdates, we spent time enjoying some of the perks of living in San Diego.  First up, the beach!

It was a little bit cooler than the last few times we were at the beach, but there was still sand to play with, waves to chase, rocks to pick up and lots of ground to cover and burn energy before nap time!

Another San Diego gem we took advantage of is the Zoo!

We were entertained by rolling & swinging monkeys, swimming hippos, sleeping bears

and sleeping Koala bears

Jacob’s favorite exhibit is the zebra and donkey, every time he is mesmerized by them!

We saw lots of birds and ducks and we learned that male flamingos walk around with their neck stretched out to attract the females attention.

It is fun to do these things with Jacob now that he is a little older and he takes an interest in what he is seeing.  Before going anywhere was just an excuse for me to get out of the house and rejoin society, but now it is such a fun learning experience for Jacob and I love watching him take in the new sights and sounds.

More coming soon!
