Look familiar?

Well hellllll-ooooo! It's been so long since we've talked.

How ARE you?

Good?

Good.

I'm glad that we've taken this time to catch up.

So I just got home from a nice, long, lovely vacation in California. Feel free to be envious. I would be. And I took lots and lots and lots and lots of photos and I intend to post most of them. But I'll do it in small increments so that you don't just give up and stop caring half way through. I would.

Although our vacation ultimately stretched over a larger portion of southern California, we were stationed in San Diego and the first day we were there, we took the kids to the uber playground at Balboa Park. Last time Brent and I were in San Diego, we had but one child, and we took her to the uber playground at Balboa Park. It looked a little something like this...

Hello tiny little Jane. It seems as though you are rather enjoying yourself on that there twisty slide.

Yes, I'd say that she definitely had a nice time.

This time, our visit to the uber playground at Balboa Park looked similar. So similar that it's a little creepy...

Hello Miss Lizzy. It seems as though you also enjoy yourself a good twisty slide.

Go, Lizzy, go!

Ok, this is probably one of my favorite pictures of this little munchkin in the whole world.

And Jane, not to be outdone by her younger sister, insisted the she also be photographed on the same slide that she visited 4 years ago. It's still just as fun.

Ben was there too.

Fact: Ben is cute.

Davie was also in attendance.

Fact: the only thing cuter than Ben is Ben WITH Davie. On a purple dinosaur.

Charlie was also there, but he must have been either

A) of ill favor - or

B) not being cute

because I don't have any photos of him.

So ya, if ever find yourself in San Diego and in the company of small children that need to be entertained until they exhaust themselves to the point that the only thing they are physically capable of is collapsing their beds, take them to the uber playground at Balboa Park.
