DISNEYLAND!!!

Man I am sure slow at this blogging stuff...guess I'll let the pictures do most of the talking on this one!

A little background for the Disneyland fun we had. Sheldon LOVED every ride they had, especially California Screaming and was lucky enough to go on each ride back to back most of the time.

Shelby was completely distraught about riding any of the rides and made a deal with me that she would only go on 5 rides but they had to be rides I picked. So the 1st day we were at Disneyland she screamed every time I led her on a ride. What a pain, really not any fun for anyone. So trying to be a good mom I backed completely off and let her decide for herself what she wanted to go on. We had a break between day 1 and day 2 at Disneyland and when we went back Shelby went on EVERY SINGLE ride, except California Screaming due to it "being shut down".

Lexi and Luke loved being there for all the adventure and were such good sports to sit out so many rides...they actually rode the Winnie the Pooh ride for a record 12 times in a row and loved it every time!

We had such a blast!!

Shelby Not enjoying that her mom keeps dragging her on rides

Shelby finally thinking the rides are AWESOME!

San Diego Temple

This is what Eternal Families Are Made Of!!

Although we weren't able to fit in a session at the temple we did get the chance to go walk around the beautiful grounds and enjoy all the serenity there. What a beautiful and peaceful place to be! The kids even got their own personal walk through by an incredible couple that works there.

Sea World

Okay so I know that this is like months late but I really need to get this thing caught up so back to the beginning of summer...

The next stop on our trip came at Sea World. What a blast we all had just going from show to show and watching the kids look on in awe at all the amazing sea life. Of course one of the most exciting shows came with Shamu but I don't think there was a show they didn't love.

I think this is my dad's favorite place to visit. He was like a little kid in a candy store as we rushed from show to show and couldn't wait for the kids' reaction at each one.

I decided that my mom is one of my favorite people to go with us on vacation...she plans it all out for us and makes sure we get every possible show and attraction in that we possibly can. Absolutely no pressure on me!! She is amazing at working out schedules!! Thanks mom for making every step of this trip as enjoyable as possible!!

Here's a few shots from our fun day at Sea World.

Matt thought it would be fun to let the kids feed the sea lions. I got a little clip of Lexi doing that. It was funny because at least 1 of her other sardines got ripped off by a bird. She is definitely a little adventurer and just loved watching them eat practically out of her hand.

So there's our Sea World adventure in a nut shell.
After all the excitement of the day this is how it looked at the end of the day:
