The Elkinton Four

Kite Flying at Seaport Village and then riding the carosel is one of my boys favorites with some friends!  These are not your mom's kites from back in the day... these are huge and need loads of wind and my dudes did great!!!   Almost caught in the trees... but good manuvering... and Buggy didn't crash!!! Buggy's Kite!!! Jackson's Kite!!   Just another great day in San Diego!!! Then it was off to climb the trees... my little monkeys!!!   Last stop... the carosel! 

What is more fun in the summer than going to the beach?  You are right... nothing!  My boys love the beach! Too Much Fun!!! 

What are two active boys to do now that baseball is over???  Well... basketball and soccer are not until much later in September... so for now... Karate!  It is so cute because the boys get to be in the same class and LOVE it! Stay tuned for stories to come... 

Summer brings about many fun things to go and check out!  Last week, Grandma, Mommy, Jackson and Charlie took the journey on out to the Nature Center to check out the new sea life and to see the artwork made from trash that had been washed up on shore!    We had to catch a trolley shuttle out to the Nature Center!   All of the artwork you see if from an artist out of Oregon and she made it all from tons of trash she collected off our shores... creative, however... very sad!   checking out the sea turtles   A tank full of Nemo and Dorie!    Yes... those are tiger sharks behind us!   The Boys had fun making some crafts! Oh... Look... a giant bird layed two handsome eggs and see what hatched....   Surfing our way to the exit! 

What a great season on Minor A for our big guy!  Jackson was on a great team with Coach Paul, who was amazing!  Jackson learned so much and will be that much more ready for next season!  His team played great all season long and came in 2nd in their division...nothing to be ashamed of!  The smiles on his and his teammates faces says it all!  After the ceremony... the kids and parents played a game of mosh ball and it was a great way to say good bye to an awesome season of little league baseball!  Coach Paul said that Jackson was the most fierce competitor on the team! Go Pad Squad!!! Proud little Brother!!! Proud Pop! Proud Momma! Amazing Coach!   Then it was time for the team party!! Great Season!  See you all next Spring!
