Our last hoorah of the summer

I can't believe we've gone to California twice this year! Normally we never go anywhere! I'm grateful for the opportunities we've had to spend time with family outings this year!

Here we are starting our journey southward
Coen was so intently watching a movie on the little tiny screen of the old ipod
Asa gets to play on the ipad
Us on the tram to DISNEYLAND! I was a nervous wreck while driving through the parking garage there...only a matter of inches between the top of the truck and the concrete beams!
The kids on one of the cars in DL. Coen is pouting because Kasen didn't want him to sit up there, and Kasen is crying because he is. Classic :)
Asa packed around this map all over the place. He wanted to know where to go I guess :)
Us on the Mark Twain steam boat
Coen was holding Bentley's hand. So precious. My boys were very sweet with her.
Cody and I entering California Adventure
The kids as toys
We drove from St. George to DL, then from DL to san diego where our hotel rooms were booked. The kids were pooped.
LEGOLAND
This was our first trip here. It was so fun. Cody said it was his favorite park, and thinks it's funner than Disneyland.




I think MiniLand was my favorite part of the park. I LOVE miniature anythings! It was so fascinating to see what people came up with.

Asa and Coen got to ride this cute little cars.
Coen was devastated when he wasn't watching and hit the wall. LOL
SEAWORLD
This humongous walrus! Luckily, the kids are covering the fact that he would suck up his food and then spit it out on the glass. Gross. I wanted to puke. But, boys are boys, and they thought it was funny.
The dolphin show was really cool.
the sealions...
Touch and feel starfish. They showed us how if you flip them over in the water they will slowly, one suction cup at a time, turn themselves back over. Really cool.

I humongous "grouper" fish
Kasen and Asa were good buddies. Here we are waiting for Shamu to start

BEACH
So much fun! The boys actually got in the water this time and let the waves splash on them. It was so much fun. Coen still says his favorite part of the trip was "digging for treasures". As we walked from the beach to the truck he says in his cute little voice "that was so much fun at the beach". So cute.



Cody being the good Samaritan that he is, and helped this guy change his tire.

Wow, looks like you had a blast going, everywhere! You probably needed a vacation from your vacation after that one. Been there! Looked fun though. How is Asa liking his school?
