… ‘cuz everyone here speaks Spanish and yes, even more than in TX. :)

That’s a living blue lizard, wearing a diamond necklace. :-P Randomly went into a nearby army/surplus store while running errands and this is one of the employee’s. He gives him a bath everyday and moisturizes his skin with lotion. E is now asking for one for his next b-day. :))

Some “axe-throwing” at church on Father’s Day.

Hey, can’t forget we can play outside in the summer here!

Westfield UTC’s got a new (since we went last) play structure.

The Nat w/ the Liu kiddos and fellow schoolmates. Congrats on their new sib, Ezra.

They played the “Name the animal’s poop” game a few times. :D

For some reason we get all sentimental whenever we pass by this fountain… We’ve stared at it feeling sad when we had to leave SD while on vacay, not really ever thinking we can now come here all the time! And we do.

Had a bit of time so they wanted to head to the Fleet, too. :) Their new Pause|Play (No Adulting Allowed!) exhibit is plenty fun! You’re supposed to shoot these hoops with distortion glasses which makes for a new challenge.

Spinning top chairs.

Play catch on a merry-go-round? Dizzzzzzying! Mommy could only take one round. :P

Hula always takes ya back to childhood!

Swimming in a pool o’ balls.

This hall just always screams out… SPRINT!

We went to Mass Creativity Day @ the New Children’s Museum. We hadn’t actually ever been to this museum despite living in downtown last summer. MASS crowded, it was. But we enjoyed checking out the place.

Great design and colors throughout.

The Sketch Aquarium is such an engaging, immersive digital experience! You design/draw a sea creature, scan it and then you are able to interact with it (along w/ other people’s creatures) on an underwater wall projection. This was a hit for all 3 of us!

Summer screams… you know what! Got tix to SD’s first Scoop ice cream festival. OMG, the LINES!

Worth it?
