SeaWorld Redux

LE
We keep saying that we might get SeaWorld memberships “next year” but we really haven’t had to, thanks to friends offering to bring us as guests. :) The flesh nibbling fishies are so soothing and satisfying, hehe.

Smooth hands afterwards is an added plus.

They rode this water ride who knows how many times as it was the end of the night and no lines. Boy, did they get soaked and cold!

LE
Some Balboa Park Golden Hour moments as we were there for our fall family shoot.

Lotsa activity on the new house.

Another sunrise moment… about two more months ’til move time? We are off to Asia for Thanksgiving break. Y & E are going straight to S’pore while Mommy is making a stop in TW before SG. Haven’t been back since before the pandemic.

Koala Tree

LE
What is soooooo special about this tree by the koalas that they can spend HOURS here (whereas most people go to the zoo to look at animals :-P)?

LE
Bread break.

LE
Hmmm, not quite sure if that’s what the narwhal’s tusk is for, E. :-\

LE
How old are ya, bruh?

LE
Been checking on our new abode… Seemingly moving along as fast as Mr. Turtle, haha.

LE
Drills on the court w/ Coach.

LE
Our current ‘hood has been outdoing themselves every year w/ the Halloween decor.

LE

LE
And then this happened. Mommy shed a few tears. We’ve been using it as our candy dish the last few years, with it sitting on a chair outside while we accompanied E through the streets trick-or-treating. E decided to help us by pulling the chair into the house and welp, the dish fell right through the opening of the chair. Things, just things. But it’s hard to let go of this painted pottery from Mommy’s bachelorette party that holds so much sentimentality and history. It’s been with us all these years… With us packing up the house for the move, Mommy was ready to trash the pieces but Daddy convinced her to save them all in a container. One day, we’ll put it back together again. One day…

LE
Pre-sailing prep talk.

LE
He’s been happy on the water in the sabot.

Different day, same napping position. :)) Growing day by day… It’s okay to pace yourself, son!

He really loved sailing camp so we started after school sailing.

LE
Mommy’s been working on the deck while waiting for E. Not too shabby of a view. :)

LE
Soaking these sunrises over the mountains before we move… will miss these views but the proximity to office (for Y) and school will be nice.
