A Record Setting Weekend!

It has been a record breaking few days here in San Diego!! I don't know if we have been on the news in others parts of the country for our weather, but let me tell you it is all people around here are talking about. The reason we are all talking?

ITS HOT!!!!!

Yes, this weekend started our heatwave and we are still going strong. The mercury has topped out at 98 degrees in some parts of San Diego. Here at "the beach" its been a little cooler. By a little cooler I mean yesterday we topped out at 93!!! Holy smokes, that is HOT for San Diego in April!!!

So, what have we been up to in this record breaking heat? A lot!!!

Saturday morning (thank goodness we were the early game and were finished before it got too hot) found us on the soccer fields at Miramar watching our favorite soccer player!!! Jack had a great game this weekend and I took a ton of great pictures!!! He is getting really good with his ball handling and passing and just loves to be out on the field playing!!!

Saturday afternoon we did a few things around the house, and then once the sun went down and it was cooler, we headed over to Sea World to enjoy the last days of "Spring Into Night" and to see the fireworks at the Shamu Rocks Show!!!

Here are my boys at the Shamu Show -- can you tell they were having fun?

Sunday was busy. I got up and went to the commissary early in the morning and can you believe it -- nobody wanted to go with me!! HA HA!!! When I came home we took the boys over to MCRD to get haircuts and while we were there we bought a bubble machine!! That's right -- we can now fill our yard with 4000 bubbles in 1 minute!!! The boys think it is GREAT and had an awesome time running around popping bubbles!!!
But, popping bubbles can be a lot of work and can cause you to get really hot when the temps are in the 90's!! So, what better way to cool off?
Put on your bathing suit and run through the sprinkler!!!!

Oh my gosh, they had the best time!!

Even Koa got in on the sprinkler action and laid in the yard just where the water would get to him but he didn't have to do any work!!!

The hummingbirds that live in our backyard had a hot weekend too!! In our three feeders we went through 6 cups of food in three days!!! Every time I would look at the feeders there were always at least 1 bird on each!!! Our record is 4 birds on one feeder!

Even with all the heat, it was a great weekend!!! Filled with lots of fun and smiles!!!

Monday came and Jack and Kevin headed back to school and work and Nick and I headed to the beach to try and beat the heat!! We met Aunt Elizabeth down in La Jolla for lunch and some fun in the sun and sand!! I wish I had had my camera!!! Elizabeth took Nick into the water and was "jumping waves" with him!! He had a blast and the smiles and giggles were the greatest!!

Its been fun trying to beat the heat and it looks like we will continue to do that all week long!!! I'm not complaining though -- I much rather be hot then cold!!!!

Until next time..........
