i love the mornings wet with dew & cloudy. took the little ladies to vg's for a sugar filled brekkie to go. traveled to cardiff reef & sat in the back of the burb. we they ate donuts. i had coffee. we watched the waves. love spending my days with these two.
I've been attending opening days for as long as I can remember 14 years. Every year is better than the one prior. This year the boys (i.e. National City Fire Department) had a theme. Sergio wanted a very specific suit. Once word got out what he intended on flaunting it quickly became a cult following. This post is entirely devoted to my mexi & the rest of the NCFD cartel.
What could be seksi'er than a fireman in an alligator suit?
Accordion, guns & beer, who knew!
Sergio & his identical side kick.
Dream it & it will happen. For this I am sure.
For Sergio's dreams are coming to fruition.
Sergio is a water lover. He's traveled the world surfing waves. Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico & Tahiti to name a few. To say he was "happy" one of his Daughters, let alone both of them showed interest in his most favorite hobby would be a severe understatement. I think the words "over the moon" are more appropriate for this milestone. We've two new surfers in town. Watch out boys these girls are gonna drop in on your waves. This I know for sure.
We are fair people. It's what we do. We love it. We are known to contribute to the fun once a week. This year we rode all the rides in kiddie land, listened to Pat Benetar's sound check, was present for Willie Nelson's concert and got up front and personal with Joan Jett. We pet farm animals, cooed over the big ole pigs, enjoyed boxes of chocolate covered bacon and most importantly came upon a milestone. The milestone I like to call, ' they don't need me anymore ' . You know all you Mama's out there. Your babies want to get on a ride so you find yourself accompanying them to it, buckling them in and waiting for the ride to end to do the same. Well this year the girls surprised me by not needing me anymore {insert huge gasp & a feeling of abandonment}. It took me a few times of trying to help them on and off a ride to catch on that they are big enough to do it themselves. One more thing I am no longer needed for. One more step towards independence.
We ventured to the Del Mar Fair and this year Sergio was determined to try the bacon, the chocolate covered kind.
To my delight I liked it. Sprinkled with salt is best. Coco my foodie.... not so much. Gia the picky one wanted seconds.
Not a great picture I know, but I thought I'd show you what you get for $6.
This would be signs of spring in Solana Beach. Mother Nature is giving us a little bit of everything.
The girls have been pining for some snow. Luckily the local mountains have a nice supply. We packed up for an over night to Idywilld. The pictures do not do our little getaway justice.
The day wouldn't be complete unless there was a "frosty".
It's about time.
