Happy Birthday Cadynce...she's TWO!

We flew out to San Diego for a couple of days.  Don had to work a game out there so we decided to make a family trip out of it, and it was also Cadynce's second birthday while we were there.  We got there on Wednesday afternoon and then Cadynce and I went to visit one of my college friends who I played basketball with.  She also has a little girl and Michaela is 15 months old.  We walked to their neighborhood park so they could play and then we walked to pet some horses.  We got a chance to just hang out and catch up on each others lives and let the kids play.  

On Thursday we spent the day at the San Diego Zoo.  The zoo was so big the first thing we did when we got there was the bus tour so we could see many of the animals and get a feel for the place.  We walked around the zoo for hours looking at the animals and just enjoying the beautiful surroundings.  The weather was perfect and Cadynce was in heaven seeing all the animals.  Cadynce got to see a Panda Bear for the first time so that is the animal she chose at the store.  We borrowed a George dvd from Blake and lucky for us one episode was about going to the zoo and seeing the Panda Bear.  We did not watch any other George on that dvd the entire trip.  After the zoo we went back to the hotel and went swimming.  Friday was Cadynce's birthday so we woke up early and went to the pool first thing.  After we got ready we headed to the local mall where they had a Build-a-Bear store.  She had no problem picking out the animal she wanted which was a dog.  We got a collar and leash and a couple of outfits and Cadynce has not let that dog out of her sight since.  We named her Lyla which is funny because she can't say her L's yet.  She walks her dog and takes it potty.  After her nap we went to the beach to play in the sand and get her feet wet.  She wasn't too sure when she first stepped in the sand, but it didn't take long until she was running all over the place getting wet.  We went to dinner then stopped at a playground on our way back to the hotel.  The next morning we headed back to San Antonio.  View Album for more pictures.
