SEAWORLD SAN DIEGO 2009
We decided to utilize Gavin's day off of work and Christian's day out of school on Veteran's Day and SeaWorld's Tribute to Heroes get-in-to-the park free once a year offer. It really wasn't too bad. The weather was surprisingly pleasant and not overly crowded. It was a bit more walking than I think I should have tried...but nothing the day after resting couldn't fix. Joel loved his trip to SeaWorld...he saw the nursing rooms, his eyelids and perhaps the inside of the sit-n-stand stroller. But the other 2 boys had a blast. And the best part...we spent exactly $12 for parking...and didn't spend a single more cent. It was a bargain! And on Veteran's day...I got tingles and tears as the Shamu trainer began the "Believe" Shamu show with a tribute to the members and families of the United States military. As he asked the active duty military to stand and Gavin arose, my heart welled with pride and a sense of reality. Although he has never encountered war, he does serve the country each and every day he treats members and families of the Navy. And as he sacrifices his own wants to obey the needs and demands of the US Navy. And I also looked forward warily for the day he may have to venture to a hazardous duty. God Bless America!!

I have to say that the cute quilt for Joel, the brown polka dotted soft blanket is just what I was making you. I will save it for someone else in the family who has a boy....
Someone else had some really good taste.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Shane looks like he is okay with his new brother.....enjoying life.
Cute pictures! You can tell that Christian is a good older brother. Love it.
