Holiday Festival at Hotel Del Coronado

This photo of Elena and Julia was taken in the lobby of Hotel Del Coronado after Elena performed in the Holiday Festival.  This was truly a honor because only one class from each school in Coronado was chosen to perform.  Elena's class performed several songs which wrapped up the performance part of the festival.  After the singing was completed, there were games to be played and fireworks to watch.  We stopped by the lobby on the way home to snap a quick photo of the girls.  Wendy's sister Chrissy, her husband Eric and two little girls are headed down here right now so that will be an experience with 4 adults and 4 children in a 900 square foot apartment.  Another way to put it is 5 girls, 1 baby and 2 men to share one bathroom.

Turkey Day

Had a great time visiting with everyone at Steve and Lee's house for Thanksgiving.  Was great to finally meet Brandon and is family.  The food was great ad so was the company.  Max and Shelley also made it out from Vegas for a rainy day in San Diego.  Sorry it was soggy for you.  Probably having flashbacks of the Northwest.  

Knott's Berry Farm





It all started out with a quick trip up to Knott's Berry Farm.  Only an hour and a half away it was a quick trip.  We had a great time.  The first ride scared Julia a little bit and the last ride scared Elena a lot.  When you see her, you will have to ask her about Ghost Rider and how scary it was with all those turns and us and downs.  On our way out, we stopped by the rock shop that was in the park and Julia and Elena each picked out an uncut Geode and they cut it in half right then and there.  Was kind of a neat souvenir for our first visit to Knott's Berry Farm.
