A Visit From Uncle Sean and "Ju-Wee"

Recently Uncle Sean and Julie came to San Diego for a visit.  

The obligatory forced smile seems to be something he inherited from his uncle.

Kaden wanted to be just like his Uncle Sean.  

Here, Kaden closely monitors his uncle and then copies his actions.  Could be worse role models, for sure!  

And, to be clear, that is not a cocktail, Kaden just really liked the stirring straws or "teeny-tiny staws" as Kaden called them.  

The trip included a day at Sea World.  We may have set a new world record for the amount of things seen at Sea World in the shortest amount of time.  The real record was that we only went on one ride in the Sesame Street Bay of Play!  Some days, Kaden would prefer spending all of his time there.

The penguin exhibit can be a bit stinky...so thoughtful little Kaden helped Uncle Sean.  He said that I should hold Julie's nose, but Julie decided that she could handle it on her own.

Getting ready for the Shamu show - which Kaden did not sit through.  And, of course, Abby's Spinning Stars.  Uncle Sean had us spinning so fast that all of the adults were discombobulated the rest of the day!  Kaden, however, LOVED every second of being pinned to the rim of the cup.

Their last night we went to what has quickly become our favorite spot for fish tacos - The P.B. Fish Shop.  Kaden likes to survey the fresh options before choosing what to eat; and then always chooses the Fish and Chips.  He also likes the "Giant Marlin" that hangs outside.
