So Cal pix

We recently returned from a trip to Southern CA. We took the kids to Sea World and to the beach a couple of times. We hung out with the Womeldorf family to celebrate the return of David's nephew Tyler from his mission in Argentina. The kids had such a fun time with Daddy being around so much and seeing their cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. The day after we got home, Lexie told me she wanted to go "bye, bye" and that she needed her purse. She went to her room and got the purse that she used to hold the things to entertain her in the car, grabbed a movie and told me that she was ready to go. I am grateful that my kids do so well on long car trips.

Sea World

My kids think the map or brochure at amusement parks is a souvenir. Lexie carried hers around looking at it and thinking she was leading us around the park.



The kids loved to watch the dolphins. They would come right up to the glass and that thrilled the kids!



Garrett was fascinated by the eels.




This baby killer whale was so cute!




They had a water playground area that the kids loved. Garrett was drenched within seconds.



These penguins were grooming each other but the kids thought that they were kissing.


La Jolla Shores


Collin loved playing in the sand and building sand castles.




David and his niece Tyce buried Garrett in the sand. Tyce made him a merman.






This was Lexie's first trip to the ocean and she loved it!




Collin loved to run from the waves.


Santa Monica


Lexie had a great time at the beach and playing with her cousins.





Garrett was cleaning the bit of sand off his upper lip.




The kids were digging for sand crabs with their daddy.
