I was a little nervous with how Jackson was going to act around Campbell and Coleman since he has a bit of anxiety when it comes to other kids being in HIS house. But he did great! There were a few fights over toys, but other than that things went smoothly. In fact, towards the end of the trip, Jackson was following Coleman around the house trying to be a big boy too!

We went to the Safari Park with the kiddos and they had a blast. We rode the tram which took us around Africa to see all of the wild animals. The Giraffes were a big hit with the kids.

We also took a trip to the beach one morning. I have to say that I was preparing myself for the worst. The last time we went to the beach Jackson had a huge meltdown and got sand all over his face, which made the meltdown even worse. But now that he can walk, he had a blast. He walked around barefoot in the sand and played with some sand toys Coleman and Campbell brought with them. We only stayed for about an hour because the tide was getting too high, but that was enough time for everyone. When we left Jared and I both agreed that the beach trip was a SUCCESS! You never know which way it's going to go with three kids that are four and under :)

The parents got to have some fun as well. We got a babysitter one evening and had an amazing dinner in La Jolla along with a few tasty beverages as well!

A great dinner with great friends!
Thanks for coming out and seeing us Jordan, Cari, Campbell and Coleman! We can't wait to come visit you in Tucson for Thanksgiving!!!!
