Flashback to Summertime

Mostly for Lisa and her insisting that I do this, here are some pictures from our trip to San Diego in July. I also posted some videos that Lee took, I hope they work.



Here is a picture of me and a smiling Bat Ray.

Here is Lee about to fall into a sharks gaping jaws. This little stunt set off an alarm. (Lee's arm was over the railing too far)

 Here we are with the seals. We opted to feed them and my goodness they were lazy. They just tipped their heads back and opened their mouths. waiting for food to be dropped into their mouths.

Lee and some nifty parrots.

 Notice that I didn't almost fall into the shark mouth. Also notice how strained my smile is. I might be terrified because I'm thinking of how big a shark would have to be to have chompers like that.

 The penguins are cute but stinky.













Lee is cute but stinky. I mean, the penguins...

 Dirk, Sonia, Grandma, and Wyatt on a Lego boat ride at Lego Land.








Laura and Sophie bring up the rear. Sophie managed to turn the boat all the way around in a circle...

I think Lee was making a Wookie noise for this picture.

Can you spot me hiding with Darth Vader and R2-D2?

It was really sunny on the Lego forest moon of Endor.

Lee with the smaller than life Millennium Falcon.

 We went go cart racing and Lee totally schooled me.

 We went for an evening stroll on the beach and as we were wading in the ocean. We saw a little sting ray swimming away from us. I shrieked, and fled to the beach. Lee talked me back into the water, and we saw another (or probably the same) sting ray again a few minutes later. I think we were accidentally chasing the little guy around. The tide came in very suddenly and very quickly, which pushed the sting ray directly between us and the beach. This time we both freaked out and somehow managed to get out of the water.

We also went to the beach during the day, this time to a cove with wild seals all over the place and some cool caves.

 At Knottsberry Farm, we found out that Lee has his own gift shop.

Here we are riding the stage coach around Knottsberry. It's was pretty cool.

And in the evening, the park lights up and Schroeder jams on his keyboard.
