San Diego Trip July 2007

We had a great trip down to visit Lachlan's Uncle Roy & Auntie Paula and were fortunate that both Lochie's cousins Katie & Lisa were home for the weekend from college! After Uncle Roy & Lisa picked us up from the airport, we had a great authentic Mexican dinner and chatted late into the night. Lochie loved leading Uncle Roy by the hand all around his back gardens! On Saturday we went to the San Diego Zoo and took a bus tour all around the zoo! After the tour we continued on to the petting zoo where Lochie got friendly with some goats and had some cute pics taken! We then saw the new monkey treetops exhibit, the hippo, the apes & orangutans, the tortoises, snakes and walked through a large bird apiary. It was an exhausting but fun day! On the Sunday it was awesome that Auntie Polly, Uncle Jim & cousins Jaclyn & Matt joined us all down in San Diego for a barbeque - and Uncle Roy grills a mean shish-kebab! It was great also to catch up with Paula's mum Hilda who I hadn't seen since Christmas 2005. It was a great trip, fantastic weather and thoroughly enjoyable as always to see David's family again - I was shocked to remember that Roy & Paula hadn't seen Lochie since he was a 4 mo old baby as Roy unfortunately had pneumonia when we went down in March 2006! So they definitely saw some changes in Lochie! It will be great when we go down to So Cal for Lachlan's 4th birthday and David will be able to catch up with his family too.
