A little Fun in the Sun!

I am a little late posting this, but it has been a hell of a week since we have been back. So, we went to San Diego this year for our vacation. It was a blast. We took two days driving down, but we got to see Spencer's brother Dave each way, so it was nice. We left on Saturday and drove to Vegas. The drive wasn't too bad, and we stopped to take breaks here and there. We also brought Emily with us, because she had never been to San Diego and was out of school. Sunday morning I got a text from my friend Lynn that lives in Vegas inviting us to meet them at Chuck E Cheese. It was a lot of fun to catch up and the boys loved playing with their Daughter Libby. The drive to San Diego was anything but fun, but we made it! ha ha....Monday morning we got up and headed to Sea World. Tyler was tired. He really wasn't fond of the port a crib that we brought for him to sleep in, but he eventually did sleep. We had an amazing day though. It was a lot of fun and it wasn't crowded so we got to do a lot, but that place is huge so we still missed a whole side. Tuesday we went to the zoo. This was our least favorite thing. It was hot, and you have to walk so far between exhibits the boys were just getting bored. We ended up leaving a little after two, and we headed back to swim at the pool. It was so much more fun....ha ha. Wednesday we went back to Sea World and had another awesome day there. We got to see the other side, and I got to see Trev finally hold his arms up on the ride there. It made me so proud to see him so happy at his bravery. He is growing up so much, and I just love it! Then we headed to the beach. The original plan was just to walk down it, because the water was really cold and it was kind of breezy that day. Well, Dilan went down with about the second wave and we couldn't get him back out. He was shivering like crazy, but loved it! He was definetly our little beach bum. Then we headed to our hotel to clean up and then went out to dinner. We drove to the San Diego temple. I don't care what religion you are or if you have one, you have to admit this is a really pretty temple. It is amazing in person, and Trev loved getting out to see it....ha ha! Thursday we headed to the Wild Animal Park. It was like another zoo, but we liked it better. It was cool to see the safari like quality and the boys loved feeding the nectar to the birds. We left here early too though. It was hot and the pool was calling us! We went to dinner at my favorite restaurant ever.......Pick up sticks. Friday we woke up really early and headed back to Vegas. It was a great drive and the boys slept almost the whole way. AHHHH! LOVED IT! We went to the Ethel M Chocolate factory first and then checked into our motel. Saturday we got up and got ready for Uncle Dave's graduation........Congrats Dave! We had some time still, so we walked to the M&M store. The boys went crazy with all the stuff there. We watched the 3D movie and headed back. After the graduation we went swimming again. Trev learned to swim without his nose plugged, jump from the side, and then swim back to the edge. It was awesome watching him succeed and work so hard to be able swim though. Sunday we woke up early again and headed home. It was a wonderful vacation, but it was also really nice to be home. Tyler was most excited to see his crib again......ha ha. There are tons of pictures, but I want this for my kids someday, and want to be able to have lots for them to see.
