Bad Water Experience

It was Orion's first beach experience and he was fine as long as he watched the waves from a distance. Once daddy put Orion's feet in the water, he cried! The water was not warm like bath water. After that, he seemed to be traumatized when going in to get a bath. He used to love bath time. Now, it seems like he is scared of the water and cries. He also tries to climb out as he's crying and we have to pick him up out of the bath and hold him. This has been happening for the past 3 days so I hope he'll get over it. Otherwise, it'll be very painful to give him a bath every night.

Our 4th of July Weekend

The San Diego Fair wasn't one of our favorite places, but this year it was more enjoyable because Orion was there. He loved to people watch and see all the colorful banners, stuff animals hanging off the carnival games, and live animals. Everyone enjoyed chowing on the turkey leg, polish sausage, and famous funnel cakes topped with bavarian cream, whip cream and strawberries. The night before Amy went to see Transformers with a bunch of friends will Allen stayed home to fix the rv for the upcoming road trip. He's really excited to fix the rv and it's coming along nicely.

This picture (below) is our favorite's at the fair. It was taken during the piggy races. They sold these snouts for $1 and we had to get one. Orion kept pulling it away from his daddy's face and everyone around was worried for Daddy because it would have been very painful for it to snap on his nose. Orion seemed to enjoy himself very much here.

Here is our friend, Brian with Orion at the fair. Brian tagged along with us.

On Saturday, we headed up to LA to visit Mai-anh. We had shabu shabu and then played 7 games of Settlers of Catan, Cities and Knights. There is a running tally of who wins the most in 2009 as that person will be champion of 2009. Amy was the champion in 2008. She has 7 wins over the 2nd place person so far. Can she be stopped? The games get pretty heated at times as everyone is pretty competitive. Here is a picture of Orion and his aunt, Mai-anh at her house in LA.
