Tomorrow, I'll be heading up to San Diego to spend tomorrow and Thanksgiving with my grandparents. Thanksgiving at Papa and Grammys is known for it is wonderful food, and the large gathering at their home out on the ranch. I can't wait to see them and spend Thanksgiving with friends and family!
Today, I got to tag along on a trip to some tide pools, a little south of Rosarito. We had to take two different cars, so I drove a couple of the boys in my intern car. It was neat to just drive and talk with the boys. Surprisingly, we talked the entire way down and they both seemed to have a great time. I was super excited to be able to communicate well with them and that the enjoyed the time in the car.
Once we got there, we had a great time looking at all the little creatures in the tide pools. I was the only one who brought sandals, so I had at least one, sometimes two barefoot boys on my shoulders almost the entire time. Everyone seemed to laugh when I decided to run out, (with a boy on my shoulders), to a far stretch of rocks that was quickly being enveloped by the incoming tide. We went out there, dodged big waves, got pretty wet, and I danced around, (my passenger laughing uncontrollably the entire time). Recently, I seem to be developing into the intern who will take a boy on his shoulders and do something crazy. Whether rock climbing, running to the beach, tide pools or soccer games, I'll always provide a “loco” and fun ride! As I walk out of my room, I’m often greeted with boys wanting a ride. Often, I can't help but smile and acquiesce to their request. :-)
