Four. . .

Monday, March 30th. . . Justin turned four today.  Coronado. . . a great place to try out his new bike.  So beautiful. . .and the kids love riding along the water.  After school, we loaded up bikes, scooters, and skateboards and crossed over the "big bridge" leading to the island.  This part is always exciting!  After blowing out the "lightsaber" candles on his cake, the kids played at the park, and then we headed down the bike path that leads to the Ferry landing.  On the way, the kids stopped at different breaks along the shoreline to throw rocks.  Justin loved doing this!  Also, there was a bird that kept going underwater for several minutes before resurfacing, and a game was soon made up to try and find and follow this bird along the way.  Lindsay made sure that all birds on land were forced into flight.  There were sailboats, aircraft carriers, and other types of boats that the boys were excited about.  We ate pasta and bread "knots" at the Ferry landing and watched the sun go down.   Justin fell asleep on the way home, blue frosting still on his lips.  I can't believe he is four. . .the time has gone so quickly.  Happy Birthday buddy!!

What a fun blog. You have the MOST beautiful family. It looks like you guys have so much fun as a family.

I love Justin riding his bike. Lindsey and Ali seem to be best friends. What a great family.

I sent you an invite to our blog. I'm not sure if it was your correct email though. I am glad we will be able to keep up since we obviously don't visit California often.
