Pop Pop's Visit

 We were lucky enough to have Rich's dad, Pop Pop, come to San Diego for a work conference which  meant that we were able to visit with him for 5 days!!  He arrived on Sunday, May 21st in the morning so we picked him up and then took the ferry to Coronado.  This was the the first time that we have ever done this ourselves so we all loved experiencing something new.  Pop Pop, Daddy and the 3 big kids hung out on the top of the ferry while Charlotte and I stayed underneath for the ride.  It was just about ten minutes each way but a good time!  Once we got to Coronado, we walked over to Tidelands Park to play on the playground and then grabbed lunch at Village Pizzeria before taking the ferry back to downtown where our car was parked.  It was a great day to spend the first day! 
 Beach hair, don't care!  
Moon's conference was just Tuesday and Wednesday so Rich took Monday off to spend the day with him.  We sent Joseph to school and then I actually volunteered in his classroom for my normal Monday morning there so Rich and Pop Pop took Ella to school and then were in charge of Julia and Charlotte while I was gone.  Once I returned, they took off to hike Torrey Pines and to have lunch  together.  After school we all hung out in the pool with Pop Pop for the afternoon!   
Pop Pop was at the conference all day on Tuesday and Wednesday but made it home for dinner so we enjoyed having him around at night.  On Thursday his flight didn't leave until noon, so the girls and I spent the morning with him.  We took him to the community park so he could go for a trail run and then we played at the park with him.  
 
We are so thankful that he made the trip out to see us!  We loved having him here and had such a nice visit!!
