California

We went on a fun trip to California last week. We didn't tell the girls until the morning we left and they were pretty excited. We flew from Idaho Falls to Los Angeles and stayed in Imperial Beach just south of San Diego. Grandma, David and Becki and their kids flew from Salt Lake City and me us there. The condo we stayed at was on the beach and we heard the waves of the ocean all the time. We went to the Wild Animal Park, Disneyland and Seaworld. Played on the beach, picked our own oranges and went swimming almost daily in the pool/hot tub. It was such a fun get-away. At the airport all ready to go

The view from our balcony the first night in Imperial Beach.

All the kids at the Wild Animal Park

One of the most exciting animals to see. The baby gorilla was sooo cute!

Picking our own oranges. I wish the girls would like oranges. They didn't even try them.

Grandma and Amree on the beach.

Anna and Kalissa both LOVED the ocean. It was FREEZING cold but it didn't stop them from getting in any chance they had.

Jaina preferred to plan in the sand.

Daniel and Amree watching the kids and Uncle David in the waves.

Our brave Kalissa even gave boogie-boarding a try.

Amree spent a lot of her time in the stroller but she did try a couple of rides with us at Disneyland.

Jaina and Uncle David at Seaworld watching the dolphins

Emily, Taylee, Anna, Kalissa, Eli and Jaina trying to touch the sea stars.

Emily took Anna and Kalissa on the Shipwreck Rapids ride and they got SOAKED!!! There were water cannons that Uncle David paid extra money to use andsoak them as they passed by.

Ready to go home. We had a fun time but everyone was tired. Can't wait for another fun trip. Still hoping for New York in October!!!!! ;)
