Summer 2012

 This is Clever's favorite spot in our yard.  We call him our lil mountain goat.

 Here's a better view.....

 This is the boy's favorite tree.  We call it the pineapple tree.

 We were out exploring our surroundings.

 Aidan is up to something...just look at that smile.

 Aidan's hiding spot is in the bird of paradise bush.

 Alfresco dining.

Our backyard.

 A typical afternoon in the Sanders' house.

 Uncle Just came up and we went for a bike ride at a nearby resevoir called Lake Miramar.  It is 5 miles all the way around and a good 2 mile ride to get there.  We watched the sun set.

We went to sunset cliffs for our 17th anniversary to enjoy the sunset.  Needless to say it was a clouding evening so not much of the sun setting but the views were still amazing.

Sight-seeing with the Scanlons from Shaker Heights

A family from Shaker Heights came through San Diego for a week and we were able to do some sight seeing with them.

 Noah, Aidan, and Seamus having lunch outside.

 Noah, Aidan, and friends on the USS Midway at the knot tying board.

 Aidan's favorite plane!  One can only guess why....

 Noah and Seamus on the flight deck of the USS Midway.

 Noah, Aidan (oh so happy), Quinn, Seamus, and his sister, Sheila.

 Watching the orangatangs at the San Diego zoo while having lunch.

 Have you ever seen a baby flamingo?  I hadn't thought I would share...

A great way to end the day....
