San Diego Part 2

May 10, 2014

Saturday afternoon Ashley, Mark, and Tristan joined us. They had a room just down the hall from us and Kalel and Tristan were constantly running back and forth between rooms. They were pretty much inseparable during the next 5 days!

There was a really nice grill on the patio just outside the condo so we cooked up some burgers.

We had such fun each night playing fun games. Our favorite:

We laughed and laughed and laughed! Ashley is so funny! Every time she would match someone she would say, "ooo, ooo, ooo" and spread her arms wide while she tried to come up with an answer. Then she would start waving her arms as she described the item she was trying to name. Of course this caused her opponent to immediately lose all ability to think, so Ashley would win the card (if she gave the right answer - many times her answer was not even close!)

Mark laughed so hard at his wife that he started crying! It was almost more fun to watch Mark!

All of us had a tough time thinking quick and coming up with right answers. Some of the crazy things we came up with in the game:

World Series Winner: Al Gore and then the LA Lakers
Famous Criminal: Bill Nye the science guy
Newscaster: Al Bundy
Comet: Harvey (This was Ash's answer and it was given as she waved her arms imitating a comet)
Yoga Pose: Upside down dog
Shoe Store: Penniless
Foreign Film: Tiger pie
Construction Vehicle: Tank
Metric Unit (and later Unit of Time): Cinnamon
Unit of Energy: Kyvaloin

And probably the best answer of all: A Gross Food: Poop

Oh my heck! I don't think I have EVER laughed so hard in my entire life!

We celebrated Ashley and Mark's anniversary (and ours a few months late) by walking next door to Benihana where we had some marvelous food and great entertainment.
