Meeting Elvis and the Ocean

I was able to finally meet my new brother-in-law this last weekend. He is a marine stationed at Camp Pendleton. He is quiet, but very nice and a perfect fit for Baili! He even has a cool name which fits in with Baili's - since she was named after a singer, he apparently was too! Here is a cute picture that we took at SeaWorld. Elvis definately gets my seal of approval - which probably doesn't really matter, but still a definately thumbs up!!

We also went to Sea World while we were close to San Diego. Gunnar loves anything to do with the sea - especially Sting Ray. Unfortunately, Sea World was HOT and MISERABLE. The shows and exibits were great - but at 100 degrees and high humidity, it was not that great! Maybe we should have sat in the 'soak zone' for the dolphin show - but I hate having my clothes wet more than I hate being sweaty.

We were also able to go the ocean - which the boys loved. They loved jumping in the waves, and a few times, the waves knocked them down, but it didn't even phase them. The best was watching Cannon with the sand - he wasn't quite sure what to think, and of course, sand just gets everywhere. We went to Baili's house after the beach and after giving the boys baths - it was very apparent, sand gets EVERYWHERE!! It was a beautiful time to take pictures - the lighting was perfect!! (Of course, the subjects are pretty great too!).
