San Diego

I have a really good excuse for not posting in over a week; we have been in San Diego with my Mom's family. It was a BLAST!! We had so much fun. We spent time at the beach, Coronado Island, site seeing, fishing, Sea World, Lego land, Padres game, and just hanging out at the pool.
There were 18 of us total from my Mom's side of the family. We stayed with my Uncle Steve and Rob, who hosted the event.

Coronado Island, the beach, site seeing
- Jason had the best time on the beach. He loved to dig his chubby little fingers in the sand and chase the birds.
-Grandma and Tyler collected lots of seashells.





Hanging out by the pool


-Both boys loved the pool. Tyler said this was his favorite thing during vacation.


-The adults had a great time playing volleyball in the pool.






SeaWorld


-This was by far the favorite place of the vacation. The boys had a BLAST!! They have a Sesame Street play area for kids that is amazing!

-Tyler chased Elmo to get a picture with him - he was mesmerized by the characters!

-Jason and Grandpa had a great time in the water fountains.

-The boys had a wrestling match in the little bounce area.

-Jason could not get enough of the giant sand box!













-Aunt Courtney was worn out after SeaWorld, but the boys were still going strong!



The Beach

-Our first beach trip was just to walk around for a few minutes, but we had so much fun we went back one morning.

-My dad had the best time in the waves with Shelby and Dixon.

-Tyler and Grandma built sand castles and buried Tyler.

-Jason was in heaven with a bucket and shovel!







Legoland

-This was our last adventure of the trip, and well worth it.

-Tyler absolutely LOVED the rides! There were a few that we were not sure he would like (Beetle Bounce and the roller coaster) and he loved them and laughed the whole time.

-There was a mini race track that Tyler could drive a car on, and he just LOVED it. I think he rode it like 10 times. He had a HUGE smile when he got done every single time. One smile made the whole trip worth it!

-Jason was too little to do most of the rides, but he got in a great nap and had fun driving the cars.

-Everything was made of Legos - the people we are posing with below and the city. It was a neat place - but geared towards kids between 3-9.



Grandma just realized what she got herself into and it is too late to back out!

What a great vacation! We spent a week in Coronado when it was just Ema, and it was so beautiful. The beaches are so different from here and peaceful. And we loved sea world. The commentary on the 'Supreme Ordeal' roller coaster- is so funny if I remember right
We miss you guys
