San Diego 2010

For Easter this year we were super lucky to be spending it in none other than the beautiful California!! We went to the beach, Seaworld, Legoland, and The San Diego Zoo. Our favorites were the beach and Seaworld for sure! It was really nice because we were able to spend a whole week there. I can't even express how much Cairi loves the sand so this was the ultimate vaca for her. It was also fun because we went to a lot of places that Chris and I visited on our honeymoon! Probably the best part of it all was that my mom, sister, and brother were able to come with us. We all have a blast together and the kids LOVE having grandma, auntie Lauren and uncle James around.

Oh ya, and we lived through a 7.2 earthquake. We happened to be stopped at a stop light, doing a little dancing and didn't realize at first that it wasn't us shaking the car. We were pretty shocked when we found out that it was an earthquake. Especially because my psychic mom predicted we would be in one on our way down lol. Of course Chris was back at the hotel sleeping through the whole thing.

Our First Day at the Beach

On our way!

My little stud man.

Cutest ever mom and brother!

Cairi loved the sand so much she let Aunt Lauren bury her in it.

She LOVED playing Godzilla and destroying all of our attempts at a sand castle.

San Diego Zoo

The three amigos!

Mommy and baby koala. So cute.

This bird was crazy. That is a mouse in his mouth.

Cairi tuckered out after the zoo.

Pool Time

Legoland

Bob the Builder, oh snap.

It's so much fun to watch her while she eats. She makes the FUNNIEST faces.

I love this picture. So cute when he sticks his tongue out!

Lunch time!

Second Beach Day

One of my fave pictures.

Don't mind the squinty eyes.

I had to protect this with my life from Godzilla Cairi.

Seaworld

These eels are the weirdest things I've ever seen.

Shamuuuuuuuuu!

Getting ready to feed the sting rays.

That's a fish in his mouth. Neato.

Checkin' out the Sea Stars. We were informed they are no longer technically called "Starfish". Good to know.

That's Lauren's cute wet toosh after going on the rapids.

Just waiting for some much anticipated grub. This was our best meal the whole trip. True story, Sea World has the BEST food!

More cute pics of Cairi eating.

Auntie Lauren and grandma helpin' Cai move along.

The cool light saber and lunch box Cai got at the park. It was for sure my favorite day!

Gabe gettin' some use out of Cairi's souvenir.

Beach Day Numero Tres

Cutest pic!

This little opening was right next to where we were hanging out. It was pretty cool.

Gabe staying sun safe. He loved all the colors on the umbrella, thankfully grandma picked him up just in time before a HUGE wave came and soaked EVERYTHING we had laid out.

Love these two pics. It was so beautiful where we were at.

After the beach we drove down the street to this cove where you can see the Sea Lions.

Cairi pickin' a flower to give to the Sea Lions.

It was so neat, you could walk right down to where they were all laying. There were little pups too.

Old Town

We got to Old Town just in time to get some souvenirs from the shops and eat a late dinner! This is one of my favorite places since it has sentimental value.

Eating at the restaurant.

Grandma and Cai doing some exploring while we waited for our food. Thanks mom and Lauren for all your help with the kids!!
