Balboa Park - San Diego, CA

Balboa Park Fun with Kenny and Breanda
While the other adults decided to take a nap. We three went to Balboa Park, we went to the Veterans War Memorial, the Courtyard, the Cactus Garden and ROse Garden Before heading over to the Mystery Cafe!

The good the Bad & the UDDERLY ridiculous!

The Mystery Cafe at the Imperial House will keep you in stitches. Here are a few highlights from the night!

Graduation -- High School Kenny

Last night i was awarded a ticket to go see Kenny graduate. See at this particular high school graduation the graduate gets a mere 4 or 6 tickets to pass out to those to attend the ceremony. Kenny has 3 siblings and comes from a divorced family so there is 2 dads and 1 mom and 1 grandma and a few more that would like to have attended the graduation festivities, well at a late call there was an extra ticket, i got off work early ran home got my camera, race to graduation and got there in plenty of time to sit on the hard bleachers !!! But it was all worth it. You see not only is Kenny my dearest friends Lori's son, but also one of the preschool graduates that I had back in the days when i was working in daycare, so I feel a lot of pride to think that I

had some influence on this young mans love of education. After graduation Kenny is taking the summer off and tells us he is moving to Colorado (where his best friend is) and he will continue his education there!

Mystery Cafe Dinner

Lori wants to take Kenny out for graduation she was thinking of a murder mystery style dinner. Tickets are about 50 bucks a piece which is not bad for dinner and a show that you might be part of. If you have been to one of these can you enlighten me as to what to expect or if an 18 yr old young man would enjoy????

Universal Studios

The best thing about ANNUAL passes is that you can usually go when you want. Kenny (lori's son) had a friend down from Colorado and lori wanted to use her pass one more time before it expired at years end so we headed down to universal (i went the wrong way on the freeway thank goodness for the garmin we were only 2 minutes off our destination time)
Here is a peak at the day!
It was cold but the crazy teenagers still had ice cream

Universal Studios

A trip to Universal Studios is always exicting. As i had just been a few months prior i was very excited to take tim back so he could ride the simpson ride. We went with Lori, Mike, Kenny, Hayley, Derrick and Pauline and Tim ... this was Hayleys first visit to the park. I was sad because there were not a lot of costumed stars roaming the park, but there were a lot of scray people popping out all over the park. I am thinking that next year for halloween getting a room down in that area and going to their fright night! Any takers?????

Hold your cursor over the picture for the title and to learn a little bit about our day.

Knotts Scary Farm

Friday night. I was suppose to be the adult with all the children, i talked Lori into going to hang out with me because i wasn't sure that i would be the best all adult for all the chilren. We arrive at Knotts SCARY farm. The monsters were all in rare form and continued to scare us all through the night. It wasn't all that scary the mazes were abrupt but not scary!

But that is my opinion, ask the kiddos and they will say it was scary. I will leave you with some wonderful pictures of the night!
