CaLi oR bUsT...

6 Adults+ 6 Silly Kids = One Wild and Crazy "Vacation"
Wednesday morning... we got up at the CRACK of Dawn... to Head to San Diego... for our long awaited vacation with some good friends:
The Reynolds Family and the Ott Family...
The three cute girls... back seat of the Tahoe... loving life (atleast on the way to Cali!)
We arrived... unloaded our things at the Hotel... and headed straight to the BEACH!
Here are all the kids... {we all have 1 boy and 1 girl}... they sat still for about 1 second for the picture... this was the only time the baby cried!

Here he is... Easton! VOTED BEST KID ON THE TRIP!
The girls enjoying filling their buckets with sand!
Halie did not like the water... and spent the whole time filling and emptying her bucket!
The Melissa's avoiding the water...

Gage getting use to the sand!

Kids found Sand Crabs... the girls held them... Halie chased "white ducks" It was great!

Then... off to dinner and back to the hotel... where the girls got in their matching pj's I found the night before for them! They were so excited to be matching!
Avery Ott, Ella Reynolds, and Halie Hyde! Sound like princess names to me!
Three little princess's jumping on the bed!
And... back in our room... two little monkey's jumping on the bed! They were way to excited to sleep!

And the next morning... up and ready for

SEA WORLD

Loving the star fish!
Checking out the dolphins! Notice Micah... he was SOOOOO excited about every animal! It made me happy to see him so excited!Then we headed over to some fun rides @ Sea Worlds Seasame Street land... I don't get motion sickness... so it was me and the girls!
Meeting Elmo... The girls were thrilled!
Off to the seals... but had to get a funnel cake... Hello... this is the reason I go to amusement parks and oh it was delicious!
^This was prior to getting stuck in the rain while the guys had to go on the Atlantis Log Ride... wow... that was fun!

Grabbed dinner... went to bed.. and the next day decided to skip Wild Animal Park and head back to the Beach and Old Town San Diego...
Off to the Beach! Praying for no Jelly Fish stings!
Avery, Halie, and Ella!
{Don't mind Halie... she is a little over grown! Her and Ella are the same age... Avery is 9 months younger... they will all go to school the same year!}

^Attempting a picture of my kids....


And here we are the next day ready for San Diego Zoo...
The whole group... Wayne, Danielle and Avery Ott minus Easton?..Our Fam in the middle ... The Reynolds, Melissa Gage, Matt and Ella is in the Stroller with the wrong family! What a group!
We tried to put the kids in with this monkey... but the wouldn't let us!

Gage, Ella, Avery, Micah and Halie... again minus Easton... he was being good not making a peep in his car seat!

Halie wasn't the happiest at the zoo!

The sky ride...made us moms a little nervous... but it was fun!

The kids with their weird little animal things they just had to have!

And that was about all we could take of the Zoo... we went back to the Hotel... swam... and headed back to Sea World for our last night of fun!


Do we have enough pictures of these 3?
The dad's with the kids! Good job dad's!
More lovely stuffed animals!
And back on the road... The ride home not as good as the ride to Cali! But we all survived!
Thanks for a fun trip! My kids are still talking about it!

Next year they are all yours grandparents! Couples only trip back in action! Ha Ha!
