Veteran's Day brought a 4 day weekend for Reid and my Mom (She's in school also). So she came down and we played hard! Unfortunately Jed did not have any time off. However, my mom did watch the kids Friday night while Jed and I went to a dance club and tried our hand at Salsa! It was so much fun and I wish I had more energy, but come 12:30AM we had to leave due to my imbalance!
Thursday my friends took us to some free places in San Diego...
We first went to the San Diego Temple. It was beautiful, but the grounds were not what I expected. I thought there would be more land, but there is hardly any around it. You can't walk all the way around it either. But nevertheless, it's a beautiful Temple and I can't wait to go inside it next time.
We then went to the Cabrillo National Monument and the Point Loma Light House
Thank goodness for Grandma! She held Adaire most of the time!
See the land in the background? That's Tijuana...where Uncle Sam is!
After stopping for dinner we headed over to the Mormon Battalion. The tour is really neat and the set up is awesome. There's a lot of interactive things to do and see.
On Friday we went to the OC Zoo in the Irvine Park, it was a very small zoo and only cost $2 to get in but still a lot of fun. There was a petting area where we were able to feed the goats, the boys loved it!

Alta and Michael are going home next week which meant that last weekend was our last one with them :( Saturday we went to Hunting Beach. We got there too late but still had some fun. Then we went back to their hotel, ate pizza, watched the Disneyland fireworks, then headed back home. It's been so much fun playing with Alta and will be hard to not see her next weekend.
Phew, I think I made it through the weekend...a little sleep deprived but going strong still! This week is a week to recover and prepare for next week...can't wait to see our Burton family! We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and are able to spend lots of time with your family!
Starting up Again!

great pictures! can't wait to hold that baby. :) I've only been to the San Diego temple once, but I absolutely loved it--it's so beautiful. I'm sad Alta and Michael aren't coming for Thanksgiving.
I loved the pictures of all of your fun, that sunset by the beach is gorgeous with the kids silhouette. California has some great places to go!
