More fun at Sea World

Stephie spent her last full day in San Diego with a second day at Sea World. She enjoyed the sea lion show:Manatee Rescue, anyone?I think this is a manatee too...Who knew Sea World had kiddie rides? Good news for Stephie!

Sea World and Coronado Island

Stephie had another busy day today exploring the sights of San Diego. First came Sea World with lots of aquatic friends......and shows to watch including a Pet Show (their Bichon was better trained than ours...shocking!)
The shows were packed!Then the ladies picked up Mommy from her conference and drove to Coronado Island. Stephie's first look at the Pacific Ocean!We were going to stay at Hotel Del Coronado but decided it wasn't quite up to our standards (ha!).
Another great (and busy!) day for Stephie!

San Diego Zoo

Mommy is attending a dermatology conference in San Diego this weekend, and lucky for Mommy, Stephie, Grandma Michelle, and Grandma Julie came along to keep her company. Today while Mommy was in lecture for 9 (!) hours, the ladies went to the San Diego Zoo to see the pandas and other animals. It was very fun, and the weather was also pretty awesome: 70 degrees and sunny. Ahhhh....

Video time

While Mommy and Daddy are changing out of their work clothes, Stephie likes to watch Sesame Street songs on You Tube. It's also really fun to bang on the laptop keys.Stephie's favorites are Elmo's Song, Rubber Ducky, and Elmo's ABC's. Our newest find: Elmo's Potty Time. A real treat!Hey, Daddy, come check it out!

Lay off, man!

Stephie isn't so sure about this Reggie guy. Holy cow! Those are some huge tonsils!What's this, a massage or a torture session?OK maybe he's not so bad...it's nice to have a friend to lean on.Ahhh...relaxing with Bingo after a busy day!

The waiting game

Today at the park, Stephie waited patiently for someone to come down the slide. Hello, is anyone there?Anyone?HELLO???Finally, she just took matters into her her own hands. Wheee!

Best buddies:Stephie was called a chicken, a rooster, and a duck...but the big news was that most people did recognize that she's a girl! Big progress given that on any normal pink-clad day, that little boy is awfully cute.The local dentist gave out toothbrushes!Hook me up!Quite the scary Frankenstein. (Stephie was relatively unfazed, but a little girl next to us did run off crying!)Brrr! Good thing chicken costumes are warm!
