I am awake. Hooray!
I wanted to post some photos of our trip to Legoland and the beach earlier, but I have been having an out of body experience with some sort of flu/cold/sinus infection thing that kepts hanging on uninvited. I am yet to exercise (trying to not whine about it and being highly unsuccessful) but I am glad to have had a chance to remember that we all get to experience things like being really sick so we can know what it is like and can understand each other better when it happens to others too. So we learn empathy. Not an easy lesson ever I think.
Well Legoland and the beach were awesome! My Mom came along to with our family and what a fun time that turned out to be. She allowed us by trading off Paul watching to go on rides and rollercoasters, not to mention she got to ride some of the rollercoasters with the grandkids too. Super fun. Paul had a good time too just taking it all in as a he casually walked with Dad, Mom, or Nana around the park looking and being fascinated with every little thing. Cute. Kate Adam and Abe loved the rollercoasters and driving the race cars and soaking Nana at the pirate ships (that was my favorite :-) Johnny had fun on the Dino and Dragon rollercoaster with the kids and loved to watch Paul do his thing and babble about doggies and bears.
The beach was my favorite out there in Oceanside you found the surfers and waves were many. They even had a really nice playground next to the beach where the kids played and then would build their sand castles and then go play on the beach with the water and waves. My favorite was the walk on the pier out to Ruby's restaurant and eating out over the ocean a yummy sandwich and fries when we got to the end. We saw a pelican up close and the fisherman catching fish along the way.

Well hope that was fun looking at them Mom and Dad and Carmen.
Just a thought:
Being happy is not being happy knowing we are perfect but it is knowing we are imperfect and being happy anyway and giving the others the flexibility to do the same.
