Usually when I go to San Diego, it rains, but not this time. The weather was perfect, and Mara and Corrie took a kayaking lesson in La Jolla.
After a little instruction, they were ready for a paddle in the ocean - I hope...
While they paddled over to the cliff in the distance, Jonathan chased the wildlife -
And played in the waves.
Finally, they returned, with Mara doing much of the paddling. Hmmmm...
They had a great time and saw sea lions, a dolphin, and some colorful fish.
Mara's quite a smart little cookie - she just turned 7 and can already play chess, something I never did learn.
