Oside in October

I have determined that our family is like a pod of gray whales. Yes, some of us may be packing a few more lbs. than necessary, but that's not the reason. We are like gray whales in that we are seen near the beach in Calif. almost every October. Usually, the weather is pretty spectacular without the crowds. As a matter of fact, I was gloating to some of my friends about how I was going to be sitting on the beach soaking up the sun. The joke was on me. As you can see from the pictures, our weather was anything but spectacular. Clearly, I did not get my requestition for lovely weather into the weather man soon enough! Still, it was great to get away. As you can see, JJJ has been growing like a weed. He's tall enough to pat me on the head and hopes to soon to that to his Dad! We spent one day in SD and went to Point Loma.

Becki's husband claims he has the patience of Job. He must, to go on vacation with us!

The teenager.

It looks like he's holding up pegleg boy...hahahaha.

Becki is very supportive of Ben.

The guys liked seeing the navy ships coming and going thru the harbor. We even saw a submarine.

Like 2 ships passing in the night.....except it was day.

Got any idea what this is? It's the stairway in the lighthouse, duh.

He ain't heavy, he's my brother. (Only old people would get that one.)

Here's to our little buddy who isn't so little any more. He's so much fun.

Life is not all fun and games, however. Jordan had to invent something out of rubber bands. He came up with the idea of a sling. Thank goodness he has a dad with an engineering mind. I was no help whatsoever.
