Rollin' With My Hommies

The other day we met up with one of my girlfriends and her two kids in Coronado for a bike ride.  Unfortunately, none of our kids can ride a bike yet, so we rented the super touristy surrey bike and cruised around Coronado like one big happy family.  It was a lot of fun.  Next time E is out here with us I am going to make sure we go and do this.  It was a great workout and there was so much to look at.  The kids were happily entertained the entire time.  Liz and I on the other hand had the tough job of peddling all that weight around.  At one point we had major issues getting up a very small hill.  We kept trying to pedal but just couldn't do it... the bike seriously started rolling backwards.  Thank goodness there was a nice man there willing to push us up the hill.  Liz and I were laughing so hard we were both crying and the silly girls were very loudly saying how embarrassed they were.  Awesome.  Now that's a good time.

Savannah and Bella sitting in the back.  If they had been a little taller they could have helped us pedal... we could have used the help, that's for sure.

The boys had the best seat on the bike.  Right up front pointing everything out and waving at people.  Being little has it's advantages.

Silly girls, trying to be gangsta.  Yeah, not so much, white girls.

Our annual Haynes/Guzman family vacation came and went very quickly this year.  Last year when they came out to San Diego, we had a lot of beach time and did a lot of San Diego touristy things.  This year we decided that we wanted to take the kids to Disneyland, so that only left room for one beach day.  So that meant we were going to go BIG.  Which meant we packed food, umbrellas, toys, drinks, and planned to stay for the entire day.  We all had a fantastic time... the babies hung in there pretty well... better than the grown men did (eight plus hours at the beach was a little too much for them).  Once we finally packed up and were done with the beach, we walked through the Hotel Del Coronado for a little sight seeing and then headed back to the house.  

The water was ice cold... Ryder wanted nothing to do with that... the girls were all about it.

Ryder preferred playing in the giant sand box with his big trucks.

I LOVE that Savannah is now old enough for beach games.  The two that we brought were so much fun... I'd much rather play those than dig in the sand.

For fun... a picture of the three kids a year ago at the beach.  Can you believe how much they have grown??  Crazy.
