We love going to California. I miss living there but am so glad we get to visit at least once a year. This year, we decided to go while Paul was at his sales conference in Arizona. He was able to fly in and out of Ontario so he spent half the time with us. We all had a great time! I took way too many pictures again so I'm going to show you the highlights.

Day 1: Sea World
Our favorite were: feeding the dolphins (awesome!), shamu shows, fireworks, the polar bears (Kade), the dolphin show (Kylie), Seal show (Bailey), and just being together! The kids each got $25 to spend of their own money and spent it wisely. There was no asking over and over of anything and everything. Kylie chose a white seal stuffed animal and dolphin necklace, Bailey chose a baby shamu and turtle necklace, and Kade chose a polar bear. We had a fabulous time!
Monday morning Paul flew out and we headed to my grandparents house for the night. We ate mickey mouse pancakes and swam in the spa. It was so much fun and I'm so sad I didn't think to take pictures.
When we got back to my parents, the kids decorated their own beach pails my mom bought them. I made some vinyls before we left, they each chose what they wanted, then they decorated them. It was a lot of fun!

Day 5: Hanging out
Paul came home around noon, so the two of us went to lunch. It was nice to spend some time alone. Then we ran errands (boring I know) and that night my Aunt Robin and Uncle Jim came to dinner. It was so much fun seeing them. Again I didn't take pictures. I'm not sure why I forget when we are hanging out at home...
Day 6: San Diego Zoo
On our final day, my grandparents gave us 4 free passes to the San diego zoo. I <3 this zoo. It has every animal and is just beautiful. We saw tons of monkeys (they have a whole section of all the different monkeys), tigers, pandas, lions, elephants, zebras, bears, koalas, turtles, alligators, crocs, gorillas, hippos, and so much more. It was a great day and a great way to end the vacation!
