Meeting Elmo

I know, still no 5 month post on Maecyn. I PROMISE this weekend. ;)

Jon had an unheard of TWO days off in a row. There was no way we were staying in Yuma, so we jetted off to San Diego again. We stayed with our lovely friends Mark and Michelle and had an absolute blast. On day one, we had a yummy Mexican lunch (margs included), did some shopping, and took Zander to the park. We ended the night with a sushi dinner before heading home to relax. Thursday we went to Sea World and it was definitely one of my favorite places we have ever gone. Zander is at the age now where he is into certain things, and Elmo is at the top of that list! At Sea World there is a huge Sesame Street section full of rides, playgrounds, and the characters. Zander went NUTS. We let him out of the stroller and he took off running! Good thing Jon was there to chase him. The highlight of the day was Z getting to meet Elmo and Big Bird. It was absolute joy to watch his reaction. He went right up to Elmo and gave him a big hug! adorable. We saw the dolphin show and lots of other animals, but didn't get to see half of the park, so we will for sure be going back. We bought the passes that are good until the end of December, so I am sure we will try and go back at least a few times before then :) 

here we are at Santee Lakes park.

Thursday night we went to the Padres game, which was a lot of fun. I had never been to Petco Park, which was super nice. We got to spend the evening in our friend's suite, which I must say is the way to go if you have active kids! They can roam free in the suite, but not if you're sitting in regular seats. It was perfect. It was so nice to see Jen, Alexis, Dustin, and Kailey! Maecyn enjoyed the girl time with her future friend Kailey :) Hopefully we'll be back to San Diego again this summer. It will be fun to see Dustin, Kailey, and Maecyn interact since they are only 4 days apart!

That was a much needed mini-vacay and now we are back in Yuma. The team pretty much told us that we will be living in the hotel all summer, so we will get away whenever we can. Jon has about 3 weeks of home games and then goes on the road for a month, so most likely I will head back to Phoenix during that time. 

Jon starts on Saturday- wish him luck! It's been an interesting first 2 weeks of the season so far.
