Dress-up is an almost daily activity!

Showing off her new, big-girl, and very PINK, booster seat!

Riding in the car has never been more fun!

She made a cool S.C.U.B.A. diving mask at school,
so we went "swimming" around the house one day.

Think "The Little Mermaid", the scene when Ariel pops up out of the water...

"Someday I'll beeeee... part of that woooorld!!!!"

A Day at the Races

Del Mar is a busy place in summer - first we have 4-5 weeks of the fair. Daddy took Kelly one or two days, but mommy passed this year. Then right on its heels is the Del Mar horseracing season which lasts about 7-8 weeks. This is daddy's favorite, of course. And they have done a great job at making the infield a whole lot of fun for families. So we headed down for a day of fun, sun and racing.

They have a really cool mural painted along the wall of the "under track tunnel" leading to the infield with images of the people and places in Del Mar/San Diego, past & present.

The infield is like a kids' paradise, full of fun things to keep them busy while parents make their bets and watch the races! There are bouncehouses, games, and our favorite, Dooney's magic show!

We took a cooler full of drinks & snacks and picnicked under a tree. There are pony rides (which Kelly opted out of this year), facepainting and tatoo artists - all for free!

Kelly chose a beautiful butterfly facepainting....

and Hello Kitty tattoo!

We had a great day!

Rocker Girrrrl

Sometimes when we need to let loose after a rough week here in North Co San Diego, especially in the summertime, we go to the Cayote Bar & Grill in downtown Cbad - they have a great outdoor patio with firepits and usually have a good rockin band playing in summer.

A few nights ago, my friend Laura invited us to join her there to see her brother, Ernie, play with his band, The Full Monty. They play good upbeat rock classics that everyone can dance & sing to. Kelly had a blast - she decided that she was part of the gig and wowed the crowds with her blow-up guitar playing stunts.

She took over the whole dancefloor. What an entertainer!

Uh huh. Yeah...she's a ROCKER!!!
