Newport Harbor

I feel a little bad bragging about this with all that happened to New Jersey, but damn, our weather is nice.  It was about 90 on Monday, so after preschool, we drove up the coast to Newport Beach and took a boat tour around the harbor.  It was very cool and mellow.  We saw the most ridiculous real estate, learned some interesting OC facts, saw some celebrity houses and Bobbys favorite part was seeing the sea lions. There were no crowds like there would have been on the weekend and it was a lovely little event for my guests and not too active to have the kids out for.

The tubs didn't do much to stop them

Don't worry Jack was shaded every other second

He actually slept through most of it

Now you're all caught up (if you read in reverse order) Rick is a good bit bummed about the election, but he still has the World Series. Bobby was in fact on the cruise, he and Grandma just chose to stay downstairs.  

He has nailed counting and sorting though.  He has been counting forever, but now he can correctly count items.  Which means stopping when you reach the right number of things.  He also can say some of the Pledge of Allegiance and the Our Father. He counts backwards from 5. But you really have to catch him at the right time in a cooperative mood for him to exhibit any of these skills.

Jack loves watching Bobby and Bobby can make him laugh so much.
