California Trip 2010



This summer we went to California to see my big brother and his family again. I am hoping to make this a family tradition, every summer. We had planned to go to Lego Land but decided not to go because the little kids (Ally and Liam) weren't quite big enough to go on the rides and get the full experience. So we decided to hit Sea World again. I am so happy we went. The kids had a blast. They had a new dolphin show that everyone loves. Ally love the Shamu Show even more so this year. We also spend the day at Huntington Beach, walking around. They were having an out-door fair type event. The kids got a chance to go on the big blow-up slides. We couldn't get Ally out of them. Her cousin Sierra took her on all the slides at least a couple of times each. Then we headed out to the beach. Ally has become such a fish in the water. If Cody and I weren't holding on to her she would have gone as far as she could've into the ocean. She stayed in the water till she was shaking like a leaf and her lips were purple. She was so mad when I made her get out of the water to warm up. She kept heading straight for the water. I got in the water too and Cody was able to do a little body surfing with Tyler (our nephew). They had so much fun. On our last day was hung out at my brothers house and swam in his pool. We didn't want to come home, we had such a great time and the weather was outstanding.
The kids had such a great time together. Ally really took a liking to Sierra. Ally has really come out of her shell which has been nice for Cody and I. We can relax a little bit more.
Thank you Alexander and Dannica for having us. We miss you and cannot wait for our next get together.
Love you
I hope that you enjoy some of these pictures from our trip.
