San Diego Vacation - Pool

I already mentioned that we went to the hotel pool on the day we arrived in San Diego. We also went swimming after a warm day at SeaWorld.

Xander wore his water wings and did a good job of getting around by himself.
He tends to 'swim' by running in the water. It was slow, but got him where he wanted.

Josie was put into her floatie. She was content to sit in it and lean over to splash the water with her hands at first.

Then she wanted out to practice trust falls with Dad.

Then she just wanted to play on the steps.

Of course you can't just leave her to play in the steps of the pool, so Dad had to carry her around.

Meanwhile, Xander really wanted me to get into the pool because it's cool for me (whatever that means). Notice that he is the type to use his hands and body while trying to talk Mom into the pool.

After swimming was over, we headed out to lunch. Thanks to the fancy apps on our phones, we were never at a loss for suggestions or directions. This night Chris decided on a Mexican restaurant.

Surprisingly, Xander has a fear of mariachi bands.
I expected him to get up and dance when the band came over to play "It's a Small World." Instead, after sobbing and clutching Mom, the band stopped and slunk to the next table where there were no temperamental three year olds.

Josie just wanted to know when the food would arrive.
