Sea World and MORE!

So before the big trip and found Maycee one morning "playing the drums"... just thought she was so smart so I wanted to share.

Then there was this huge or should I say long change....

SO LONG.....

And now shorter....

Do you see what shes holding?? ^

Notice her grumpy face in this one...

(she was sick of the pictures, little did she know I had many more to take)

All styled!!!

I was sad to see the 4 and 1/2 inches go but she really needed it... it was getting string-ish. It will grow back :)

Went on a bike ride later that day to get the mail... it was fun :) The girls like that.

Its hard biking into the wind...

A week later we left to go to Mesa (to then head to San Diego for a extended Family Trip)

The girls cousin Emery drove with us and helped entertain girls.... She covered lydia with the stickers and then sent a picture to my brother (who had the chicken pox) and he got a great laugh.

Here is Blake and I in the front, we look spiffy, don't we?

We drove strait to the beach from Mesa...

The girls LOVED the beach...

Kimee Tink (cousin) liked it too.

Does she have cute red hair?!

Of coarse Lydia had to try out the sand.

Love this picture!

The Family :) We look so great!

The next day we got all dressed up in matching shirts to head to Sea World!

Here is Koby and Brody (cousins) We shared a room with them...

Do you love how Koby is posing for the picture?

That morning before we left we had our cousin gift exchange (christmas gifts)

Darby gave to Lydia...

She loved opening the gift

Avie gave to Maycee

The 2 cousins are so sweet! They are 4 months apart (minus a day) AND they share a middle name, Rae. So cute! I hope they are best friends forever :)

Aren't they just so cute!!!

Here is Kimee Tink again, doesn't she look comfy! I wish I slept this easy.

Maycee and Blake went on this ride very first, and they both enjoyed themselves.

I stayed behind and watched this one, I was happy too.

Then of coarse the Shamu show...

Maycee loved all the shows! Lydia enjoyed them too. Maycee really got into them. Everytime the trainer would get the animal to do something, Maycee would imitate. It was awesome! Her face would light up when they would jump out of the water or splash. The best part of the trip was watching her face light up.

Here are all the cousins...

And all the younger girls cousins

Notcie several of them have matching shoes... Gramma Kimmy got these all for the younger girls... THEY SQUEAK! People we walked by where either "Aww, so cute, where can I get those" or "Seriously?! Why would you put those on your kids! So Annoying!"

Next day we all walked the Board-walk in the morning and some so cool things.

There was a guy with a bunch of tropical birds and he let anyone that wanted a turn hold them.

Maycee didn't want to hold it but she watched and....

She liked it!... to bad I didn't get the whole picture...

Gramma Kimmy liked them :)

Next to the U.S.S. Midway (ship in the backround) Is this large statue....

WE HAD TO GET A PICK!

We fished the rest of Saturday at Sea World again...

Then on Sunday, we visited the Mormon Battalion Visitor Center. Very neat place. If you are ever in San Diego I would highly suggest visiting. The tour there ended with a free Family photo. Drove back to Mesa on Sunday. Then back to Kirtland on Monday. We took a detour on the way home and stopped to see Grandpa Shum in the hospital. He was in very good spirits. It was nice to see him and grandma Kathy, along with Aunt Ann and Aunt Bet. Sure love you guys...

Once we got home the "sand toys" that Lydia got from Darby where quickly put to use...

To bad we don't have sand...

This morning these little girls where happy as could be... Lydia is ready for Nursery! She will set and play with this puzzle for quite some time. To bad she is still 5 1/2 months away :(

They will stand at this window and "wacth the chickens"

Mom & Dad, Thanx for the awesome trip to San Diego. We had a blast! Can't wait for the next family get together :) LOVE YOU ALL!!!
