4th of July fun on Coronado Island

Our latest camping trip was literally in paradise! Tim found us a camping spot on Coronado Island called Fiddlers Cove Marina.  It is part of the naval base so the rate to camp was very affordable, (definite perk of being military).  What really blows my mind is so many families are stationed there, they actually live in paradise!  Really, anything you could ever want to see or do is in this area of CA.

The boys had a blast riding their bikes in the dirt, Noah eventually ditched his training wheels.

Our camp spot.

Cannot beat that view!

Photographers paradise!

Handsome boys.

San Diego does the Big Bay Boom, this year the fireworks accidentally all went off at once, the show lasted 15 seconds.  Major....OOPS, but it looked awesome when it happened!

Noah tried so hard to hang on for the fireworks but ended up falling asleep.

The beach where the Navy SEALS train was right behind us, this is their amphibious machine that drives on land and water.

Both boys have been making good progress on their swimming skills which delights me because I am not a strong swimmer and am very scared of the water.  Tim's parents condo has a pool and Noah pretty much learned to swim, (he only wears arm floaters now).  And Micah....he is so my son, he finally went from a life jacket to donut floaty around his waist.  He went without for a bit but hugged the wall the whole time.  He will get there eventually, he does not do well being pressured so he has to come around on his own.

 

The boys cousin Makenna was able to swim around one evening.

We have been to San Diego a lot of times since moving to California because Tim's parents live there, but we still find plenty of site seeing to do.  Tim's parents condo is in the heart of downtown San Diego so everything is at our fingertips, it is awesome!

One of our favorite places, especially the boys because of Wetzels Pretzels.

Coronado Bay Bridge, we had to cross this bridge to get to our campsite.

Sailboats in the bay as we were crossing the bridge.

The boys were able to spend two nights with grandma and grandpa, they loved that and Tim and I enjoyed the break also.  They loved getting to see their baby cousin Makenna.  And on the last night we were there we went to Kansas City Barbeque, it was yummy.

We went to Tim's parents church, it is so big and pretty, (great message as well)!

This was filmed in the Barbeque place we ate at.

Waiting for the train to cross so we could get back to Tim's parents place.
