We spent the first day in San Diego playing at the beach. We went over to Coronado Island, which is just so beautiful. It was Emilyn’s first time to the beach. She was a big fan of the sand, which she loved to eat. She had a scrumptious sandy cracker and piece of sandy orange to wash down the handfuls of sand she kept trying to eat. Matisyn is at home by the water. She loves digging in the sand, looking for shells, digging for crabs, running from the waves, and chasing the birds. Emilyn was not a fan of the cold ocean water, but happily watched Matisyn play in it while she ate sand! We stayed at a Hyatt by the water, the view was great, and thanks to Hotwire the price was too! Matisyn and Matt got to swim at the hotel that night while I put Emilyn to bed. The first thing Matisyn asked to do when she woke up was go back to the pool! Lots of driving, but two happy girls, and two exhausted, but happy parents!
Emilyn's first dip into the Pacific Ocean. She is not holding back about how she feels about it. I think it mostly has to do with the cold because she was happy right before and right after.

Yummy, yummy sand! We gave up trying to stop her!

The reason we thought about the Disneyland trip in the first place was because my brother John and his wife Ayme were having a baby, and they live in San Diego. As luck would have it we ended up coming while Ayme was in labor, very long labor, so we missed visiting with them at their house. But we were able to catch them before we headed to Grandma Karen’s house, and meet their new baby girl. Her name is Trinity Joy, and she is beautiful. She is a long time coming, and we’re just so excited that she arrived here safely. It will be fun to have a cousin on my side of the family. Emilyn and Trinity will only be 8 months apart, so I’m sure they’ll be buddies. I LOVE babies. Since the girls weren’t allowed in the hospital (and we wouldn’t have taken them up anyway) Matt and I had to switch going up to visit with them. I took most of the time holding her, I just didn’t want to put her down. Congratulations John and Ayme, and welcome Baby Trinity!
