Fun in the 100 degree sun!

 

Man, it's been awhile since I've done a post. It's partially laziness but mostly it's because JOHN'S BEEN HOME! Like really home. He finished his last job over a week ago so he was home all last week. All those pictures I post all the time? I take them during the day in order to send pics to John at work. But now that he's home and playing with Jack all day, I have taken barely any pictures. It's so pathetic.

But having John home has been awesome. Not just for me but also for Jack. The little kid is so enamored with his daddy. Like SERIOUSLY in love. He wants his daddy to do everything. Get him out of his crib in the morning, take him on walks, read his books, give him his bath, put him to bed....everything. Poor John is on full daddy duty but he hasn't complained for one second. And, yippee! I've gotten to sleep in an extra half hour in the morning, watch more ridiculous TV every night, get new eyeglasses, visit the dentist, etc. What a treat.

Anyways, I did manage to take a few pictures this week. It was ridiculously hot so we got Jack a little kiddie pool to play in. He loved it!

 

 

And I'm not ashamed to say that the next day, when it was even hotter, Jack thoroughly enjoyed some naked time in the sprinklers.

  

Somehow this kid intuitively knew that he should sunbathe on the patio.

 

So much fun!

 

Sea World Trip

Last week we went to Sea World in San Diego with Grandma and Aunt Julie.  He had been before but this time he was into different things.  In the pic above he's watching me pet the manatee rays.  Last visit he was really into the tide pools and touching the star fish.  This time?  Not so much.

He liked the aquariums and looking at all the pretty fish.

And he also definitely liked spending time with his Grandma and Aunt Julie.

But, by far, his favorite part of Sea World (and really the reason I wanted to go) was the Sesame Street toddler land.  Man, oh man.  He was a super fan.  First he played on the sunken bouncy floor with all the oversized blocks.

 

 He was so cute watching all the other kids and safeguarding his green block. But I was so proud of him. When he saw the other kids stacking up the blocks in the corner, he took his and marched across the whole floor and put his block on top of the stack. Way to go Jack! But of course the highlight was the water area. Oh my son. He loves to get wet. He ran through the flying arching water fountains with joy.

   

 And he stood and played with the water as it shot out of the ground.

 

 

 In the end he was soaking wet but a very very happy boy.

   

 Here are a few more pics and a little video.
