During the month of June, San Diego has something called June Gloom. Basically the warm air from the desert is moving towards the coast, but the coast is still holding on to the cold air and chilly ocean waters. This creates a lovely, gloomy cloud cover that usually socks in the city for the month of June. essentially it looks like it is going to rain all day but never does. This makes for lazy kids and mommies (and I am discovering garden plants). Thankfully for this family, the clouds parted yesterday and the sun showed us its beautiful warm face. It was perfect timing as we were just about to head to our friend Jasper's birthday.
We had such a wonderful time at the party. We played with all of our school friends, had some delicious cakes, and we climbed the biggest jungle gym we have ever seen.
When we woke up this morning we discovered that the gloom had returned and brought with it some drizzly, spitty rain. Rain that you can't really go out and splash around in puddles in but is perfect for searching for icky snails in PJs.
and making a home for some Rolly Pollies on top of the cooler (in matching outfits that they picked out).
And finally, the best way to end a gloomy cookie making kind of day. Finally meeting our newest and dearest little friend in the whole wide world- Lola Miles aka Juice (named by Teentz). We have been waiting for this moment for months and months and could not keep our hands off her. Until we decided that we needed to dance to "Purple People Eater" for the 100th time today and Juice decided she was hungry and tired. Look out Juice- I think your summer is going to be filled with bugger filled kisses and lots and lots of love from your not related by blood, but who really cares about semantics, cousins.
