A few weeks ago we got to go on an incredible vacation. We flew to San Diego and stayed with my brother and parents at an amazing beach house. It was unbelievable! We were right on the beach so we could take Darryl out on the sand all the time!
He loved the beach. The first time he put his toes in the sand he giggled and squealed. Even after getting knocked over by a wave he still laughed and had a great time. He loved it when we would build sandcastles so he could smash them.
Every morning we would walk down to the beach to a playground where he could play right on the beach. It was so beautiful to watch him play with the ocean behind him. He has gotten really brave when it comes to slides! He would climb up the steps and go down the slides head first without any hesitation. He definately has no fear!
The second day we were there we went to the San Diego Zoo. We stayed for 5 hours and Darryl stayed awake and happy the entire time. It was so fun to watch him point and laugh at the different animals. His favorite was the Polar Bear that swam in a tank right next to him. He also loved climbing in tunnels and giggling with Daddy. It was so much fun! The next day we went to the LegoLand Aquarium and you could just see his little brain working as he watched all the fish. It is so much fun to take him new places to explore new things.
He is talking like crazy too! He has said lots of new words...his favorite being the word "bubble". We played with a bubble gun on the balcony and he would proudly say the word as he popped them. He also says "ball", "Football", "Duck", and "Bird". It is so cute and fun to hear him say new words!
We had a blast and we are so thankful for our family for such an amazing trip!! I'll post pics soon...
