Fields of Flowers

A couple of weeks ago the Oma came to visit. There are so many wonderful things to see and do in San Diego but there is always some thing I wanted to see. Plus I knew that Oma would like it too. We went to the Flower fields in Carlsbad Ca. The fields are only open for a short amount of time in the year, March 1- May 11. 

There are  over 50 acres are filled with Tecolote Giant Ranuncluls  in so many colors. You can walk around the fields and look at the flowers or take a ride in an wagon that will take you around. But with two toddlers walking and running around is always my 1st pick. Any thing to help get energy out is a plus, right? 

You are able to take pictures in the flowers, we tried but with two toddlers. We did try a couple of time to get some shots. Maybe next year.  

There are things for the kids to do too. When we walked in Owen and Emily were giving a passport. Throw out the fields you can find a flags were the kids can read a fun fact and add a stamp to their passport. Owen and Emily really liked running around and looking for the flags. We also found a playground. 

If you live in Dan Diego or are going to be here you really should stop by and take a look. You will need to buy tickets.

Morning Trip to the Park

The weather here in San diego has been very warm. Where we live it is HOT. We spend most of the day playing in the water trying to stay cool. On Firday it was over cast and cool. So we were off to the partk. It was nice to be able to spend time there and not worry about this kids getting to hot. We packed food for the brids and a snak for us.  Here are a couple of pictuers.

Owen loves to feed the birds. He calls for the them. " Bird Bird come eat"

 

Emily loves the swings. She could stay on them all day. I just love her smile.

Owen is not a big fan of the swing.

But the slide he loves going down the slide

San Diego Fair

The San Diego county Fair is here! Time to take the kids and have fun.
Owen and Emily's Papa and Grandma Buck and cousin Katie came down. Owen loves running around after Katie. The weather was a little overcast but it was perfect for a day at the fair. FYI our lap top is still down so the only pictures I have to share with you were taken with my phone.
The first ride of the day was the Pony ride. We did not think Owen was going to like it. But he did. A plus was that he was able to wear Papa
Buck's sun glasses. Now as for as the other rides let's just say he did
not like them at all. Katie loved them all. Emily did great. She enjoyed looking at everyone and taking long naps as we walked around. As any good county fair there was a lot of livestock. Owen did not know what to think about the cows. Owen and Katie cheered Dave and Papa Buck when they played games. We brought sandwiches and healthy snacks with us. But I have to say, the fair food did smell really good. Some of the crazy things they had were; fried Twix, fried koi-aid, fried butter, fried avocado.
The kids did great. The only melt down was at the end of the day. And it was just because they were very tried, or how Owen says " I triey".
When the kids napped we did take this as a chance to split a cinnamon
bun with cream cheese frosting. Man oh man it was good.
The fair is open until the 4th. If you are in San Diego or will be, you
should check it out.
