Rest of our days....

Day two during camp, we did nada... we sat by the pool. Well, my mom and Grace sat by the pool, I fell asleep in the hotel room and slept for 3 hours. I was exhausted. On day three my sister came up via the local train. She ended up getting off at the wrong exit which was really irritating, BUT once we found each other, we spent the day at Balboa Park and then back at the hotel pool. My sister and I also took a trip to a local Target that had an escalator for CARTS.. it was pretty exciting for us, we've never seen anything like that. We took pictures and people stared at us. They probably thought we were from some rural area where even having a Target was fancy! But no... we're just 40 miles north in Oceanside.. but thanks for staring anyways. The final day of camp Tyler took the train down (and got off at the right exit) and we spent the afternoon in Old Town. We had lunch and walked the streets. I bought three pairs of sunglasses, because.. I loose them often, AND once you find a pair you like.. stock up! That's what I say. After old town we headed to Presley's camp for the product fair, and to have Grace participate in Trialnet.. we're crossing our fingers on that one.
When I told Grace I was going to have her participate in this TrialNet study, I lied to her, I told her that the scientist need the help of siblings of boys and girls with Type 1 diabetes to see how their blood is different from a child with Type 1 diabetes. I didn't tell her they were looking for Antibodies that are associated with Type 1. That would have FREAKED her freak. So I made a lie I thought she would go with. She didn't she still didn't want to get her blood drawn. But on the day it was to happen we walked over there, there they made us READ a waiver TO Grace, and had her sign it... so much for my fancy lie. I still think all the verbiage was over her head, and she ended up doing it only because they had numbing cream for her arm. Whatever.. as long as she did it. Enjoy the pictures of our final three days (clearly there are A TON, but I don't want to loose my audience because I think they want to see all 100 photos..)

The little boy in the pool REALLY wanted to play with Grace, she was playing hard to get and acting all weird, trying to hid in her inner-tube

Me.. Pool side
I had no intentions on getting IN the water. Just staying in the shade with my make up on

After each camp day Presley got some swim time in too. I LOVE this picture.

Grace would do this for hours. Once when she was trying to be a cool because of that little boy, she totally ate it and hit her chin on the concrete.

Balboa Park

Waiting for the Art Museum to open

Balboa Park is BEAUTIFUL, I would love to have professional family pictures taken here

Old Town..our last day!
My sister!

he missed me!

Grace HATED that the mariachi band brought attention to her

The Old School House. We asked Grace to take a picture inside, and she said NO! Then as we walked to lunch we told her she really missed out because it's the oldest school in all of San Diego, and it was being torn down the next day. So she missed her chance to have a picture taken in a historic building before it was gone forever.... after lunch she took the picture

My honey and I again

That was Presley's Big buddy. she was the counselor assigned to Pres. She was diagnosed last October.

Another counselor that LOOOOVED Pres. She's a super likable kid, so funny and sweet. She was even given unit flag because she was "such a joy"
not only was she their "old timer" but she was also called their "frequent checker" she LOOOVES checking her BG. Sometimes I think it can be a bit excessive BUT I'll never say no. Unless she asked 5 min after already doing it.. there are limits.
