Super easy hat

I have my adorable model Joshua wearing my latest project. It is a hat for a little girl. I have a friend that has 2 daughters so I think these will look cute on them when winter rolls around. I know that winter is 6 months away but I have a lot of people on my list so I'm trying to pace myself. Christmas will be here before you know it!

Here is the same hat but with different yarn. The yarn I used is softer, nubbier and lightweight. I like how these hats are quick and easy. I knit the top hat in one day.

Soak Zone

Okay, now for another highlight of our Sea World trip. Last time Tyler was dissapointed that we were not able to sit in the Soak Zone at the Shamu show so I made it a point to arrive early to get the seats he wanted. We bought ponchos to shield us from the chilly 52 degree water that Shamu was going to fling at us. Before the show, Joshua began to cry and freak out so Hector took him to walk around the park while we watched the show. The guy next to Tyler (see pic) bought some cotton candy and then gave it to Tyler so he was thrilled.

Tyler took a picture of me in my poncho and he did a very good job. Anyway, the show started and we were prepared to get soaked but Shamu's splashes in our section didn't reach our row. Our legs got a little wet but that was it. We were kinda bummed so we will plan our seats better next time.

Picture Time

See? My kids don't need toys to entertain themselves. All they need is an ottoman & sofa to play "crawl under the bridge".





Tyler is getting a workout holding up the Sky Tower.













Here is a view of the dolphin show from the Sky Tower and it looks like it's a full house.

Part 1

Our weekend in San Diego was filled with fun and excitement. We arrived at Embassy Suites to find the lobby under construction that just finished for the weekend so the guests wouldn't be disturbed. That was the least of our problems there. I think the place was sold out and the majority of the guests were kids that ran free throughout the hotel. We kept running into kids that goofed off in the exercise room, pool and elevator. The hotel managers were busy trying to keep the kids under control since adults were never around. Other than that, our stay was good.

On Saturday, we went to Sea World. The weather was on the cool side with scattered spots of sunshine. The kids made a beeline for Shamu's Happy Harbor where the ran their little legs off.

More details on Sea World later.

Road Trip

Okay, we should be heading out to San Diego soon. The kids & I are packed and ready to go. Hector went to do some last second shopping for a DVD player that can strap on the headrests. Of course, I found his wallet in his jeans when I was picking up so he'll figure it out and come back home.

We will first drop by Hector's mom to wish her a happy birthday which is on Sunday. Hopefully the traffic won't be too horrible but we're looking for to our stay at the Embassy Suites (trying to rack up the reward points). Our plans are to visit Legoland and Sea World because our last trip was kinda cold and I was hoping that the weather would be warmer this time. So far it looks like the low 70's but the kids will enjoy it no matter the temperature.
