California Thanksgiving

We went to San Diego for Thanksgiving. My whole family was there, and it was fun to spend some time with everyone. My Grandma has an amazing house in Coronado. Josh sure loved to swim in the pool, and would splash us all till we were soaking, and then dunk his face under. It was a nice break and fun to have warm weather. We would run in the mornings on the beach. I am pretty sure this was the first time I went running since I ran my half-marathon in August....sad, I know.

After playing some football. I don't know how it ended up all the old guys against the young ones, but us old ones lost.

Josh loving the pool.

And this next one....before any of you get concerned. You all know Ben... he loves to play, and this picture looks much scarier than the actual event. Still it was pretty amazing. Josh was very proud of himself, and was giggling so hard as he did some amazing 9 month old gymnastics.

He hung on here for at least 10 seconds before he let go. Then after doing it a few times he would just let go for the fun of it. Don't worry we didn't just let him fall to the bed, Ben caught him.

We tried and tried to get some family pictures. They were pretty much all bad, oh well. This one we were trying to get the moon in the background. It was a beautiful night.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Ohhh, I love the moon picture. I think it's perfect! I also love the one that you put on the sidebar.

And we miss Ben's fun crazy way of playing! Johnny probably would have let Zack drop to the bed just for the fun of it!

I can't wait until you are "closer"!!
