Over Labor day weekend I flew down to San Diego. Did some jet skiing, parasailing, boogie-boarding, bodysurfing and whatnot all with my Aunt Laura, but that was only half the trip!!!! I spent a couple days with my friend Kyle Dickerson as well. We had a super spectacular time (well at least I did). Anyway I'll cut the rest and get straight to the pics. Hope you guys enjoy!

Oh and sorry Kyle for shutting your trunk right smack on your noggin'

I made a run for it but Kyle wasn't so fortunate...

This was the rock-crawling, snake-finding, bird-terminating, little red racer of the trip for sure.

"Aaaahh man!!!"

Super exciting find for me...

Things started getting a bit frisky and so it was time to go home...

Thanks again Kyle for an amazing trip.

Those are all Bothriocyrtum californicum. There were actually a lot more than that but once we opened the trapdoor they all ran down to their mommy :)
