California

Before heading to Hawaii, I decided to drive down to California a little early. Paul flew out later in the week but while he was in Utah, we had a great week. I didn't take many pictures but here are some at the beach. It always amazes me how brave they are in the water and how much they like the sand.

While we were in Hawaii, my parents watched the kids. Lizzie, Linnie and Blake were very excited and my parents wore them out. Nana and Poppy took them to the zoo and Sea World. They had a blast!

Their favorite animal is a Panda

I haven't been here for years but I don't think they use to let you pet dolphins... how cool is that!




Blake was a little frightened at first but then you couldn't get him to leave.
