Lil' Dean Fam

4On Tuesday, July 17 we went to the beach. We decided to go to La Jolla Shores beach. It was pretty crowded as you can tell from the pictures, but we had a really good time. The weather was perfect and the water was nice and refreshing. Ryan wanted to spend the whole time in the water even though he was pretty much shivering the entire time he was wet. The great thing about the beach is that it’s free! The difficult part was parking. Can you spot Ryan and Colin? How about now?

Our trip to Sea World was a lot of fun. Ryan really liked looking at all of the fish and other sea animals. We had a good time taking him around to all of the different exhibits and things. Here is the third installment of our trip to California. Pictures of the beach trip to follow. all of us in front of the dolphins an otter flamingos Mommy picks up a star fish to show Ryan. He didn't really want to touch it. Posing in front of the tide pool. Daddy at the tide pools Reaching in for the sea animals. Turtle inside the aquarium at the tide pool exhibit a penguin swimming outside at the Penguin encounter Mommy and Ryan watching the penguins A penguin did a nice belly flop for us. Ryan loved that and shrieked with laughter when he saw him jump in. I'm amazed I caught such a great picture of him. Ryan kept telling the penguins, "I see you"! It was hilarious. more penguins swimming. This is the seal and sea lion exhibit. It was feeding time so Colin bought some...

Brady is Ryan's second cousin. My cousin Shannon's son. They are three and a half months apart and Brady is about twice Ryan's size. They had a blast together during all of the wedding comotion. This is them at the rehersal dinner which was held at BJ's Restaurant. They were seeing who could be louder I think . Ryan also got to play with his cousin Delaney. I think she is his favorite. Ever since they met back in June he asks about her constantly. He calls her "la-lane" and they are almost exactly the same size but she's a bit slimmer. She is three months younger than him and is my couin Michelle's daughter. This is them at Grandma's house supposedly eating breakfast.
