San Diego Part 2

Before we went to Sea World, we went to The Mormon Battalion Museum and it was really neat. Emily was freaked out some by the movies but when the tour was over they let her pan for gold it was really cool.



They also took this picture of our family for us, we're really glad we took the time to go and we learned some interesting stuff.

Our first day at Sea World we didn't get much done but we went to the Shamu show and Emily loved it, she is obsessed with Shamu now. We bought her a doll and she plays with him and talks to him all the time.
Before we planned this trip we had no idea that they had so much Sesame Street stuff, but we were so happy when we found out. Our girls love Elmo and loved getting to see him, they even got to have their picture taken with him.
This is a picture of when the Sesame Street characters come out on a boat and perform a little show.
Me and Emily on the Oscar the Grouch ride.

Ben and Emily of the Elmo flying fish ride, she's in there, even though you can't see her.

We also went to the Pets Rule! show and it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of dogs, cats, bird, pigs doing a show and tricks. They let everyone meet the animals after, Emily was in heaven!

The last thing we did the first day was go to an Elmo 4-D show which was really cool. This is Emily in her glasses getting ready for the show.
It freaked the girls out because water would shoot out from the seats in front of us.
By the end of the day the girls were exhausted, they fell asleep at 4 and didn't wake up until the morning, it was so nice.

San Diego Part 1

We just got back from a trip to San Diego and it was a lot of fun, on the first day we went to the beach. Emily didn't really like the ocean, which we were happy about so we didn't have to keep chasing after her, but she did love building sand castles. Annie loved eating the sand. Here are a few pictures of our day.



Later that day we went up to the San Diego Temple, since I have never seen it and when we got there, this is what it looked like...

We weren't sure what they were doing, but the whole thing looked like this.





Even though we couldn't see anything there, it was a great start to our vacation.

Family Pictures

Ben's cousin, Robin, took family pictures for us last month and we loved them. Emily wasn't too smiley but she had been sick and was on Benadryl so we think that had something to do with it. But somehow she was able to still get some good ones, these are some of our favorites.
