CALI Part 1

California July 2010

We took an amazing trip with my family this summer! We spent the last week of July playing at Seaworld, Disneyland, the Beach, and everywhere imbetween! My parents rented a house a few blocks away from the beach and it was really so much fun! The first day there went to Seaworld and Brit and Hadley were in Heaven! Brit just could not get enough of Shamu and he is his absolute favorite thing to talk about now. Funny note.... He even told us the other day his poop splashed in the toilet like Shamu!!!) What a kid! He was mesmerized the entire Shamu show and wanted to go back the second we left. He also liked the Baluga whales and polar bears too. Oh and the penquins, otters, dolphins, turtles, fish... really the list goes on and on. He just loves Seaworld. And Hadley was so content just watching all the animals all day, napping in strange possitions, and eating starburst. They both loved the Seaseme Street area and Grandma and Grandpa got stuck there a little to much while us older kids rode some fun rides.

We were lucky enough to ditch the kiddos and go to Disneyland one of the days with Shilo, Brandon, Devin, and Megan. We had a blast! Now some of you might ask, why Disneyland with out kids? WHY!!! Because it's awesome. Now Brandon and Shilo and Devin and Megan do not share the same passion for Disneyland as we do, but I think they still had a good time and we were sure glad they were there with us cause it was a once in a lifetime trip! When are we ever going to do that agian?!? yeah never! Im not sure my parents would agree to it again, not cause they didn't love spending time with the grandkids, but because 4 kids all 2 years of age and under is not an easy task. Especially when you are go getters like my parents! They decided to load em all up in the truck and head to the beach! Not something I would do but im glad they did cause I got some pretty cute picture from it!

We took a drive one day to this awesome area called . There were tide pools, seals everywhere, green grass to play tag and baseball, and some big waves! Brit did almost get sucked into the ocean a time or two; Once when a big wave came crashing into the rocks he was standing on and once on the beach where it completely pumeled him. The rocks was the most scary to think back on. But if you block that part out, it was one of my favorite days:)

I lOVE THIS PICTURE!

We also got to go to a Red Socks vs Angels game and had a awesome time! We saw a lot of homeruns the kids did great! We were so worried about the kids getting restless, but they were as good as can be! And yes, that is Brit wearing a hat. Miracles do happen!

Part 2 coming soon!
