Spring has Sprung...

I feel SO lucky too have these 7 beautiful children in our lives!

California Part 2 {The Beach}

I think this will need to be a bi-annual trip for our family. We found the perfect priced Condo {right on the beach} We had to cram a little, but would trade it for anything!

We spent all day everyday at the beach. Laying around and soaking up the beautiful sun.

The kids ALL loved this Pelican.

We do wish we would have spent more time at the tide pools. This was our favorite afternoon exploring and finding little creatures.

 Found a baby Star Fish.

 

 We watched the sun set every night and decided on no electronics till bedtime. It was heavenly!!!

I'm only sad we didn't get a family picture on the beach! But tons of fun boogie boarding and playing in the waves. It really was a perfect vacation! No drama and peaceful!

California :Part 1 {The Parks}

We made it! 12 hours later!  We stayed in a "little" condo close to San Diego the first 2 night so we could Hit Sea World and the San Diego Zoo.

I think I could say Sea world was the kids favorite place we went. We stayed all day! They got to touch the dolphins and hold star fish and enjoy the ocean life all around us.

We found out the day before The Terrills were going to the Zoo the same day as us...CRAZY our trips overlapped and we got to spend a day together. My favorite was ALL the bay animals. I think every animal we saw had a new baby. Even the turtles!  It was AWESOME!

Wild Animal kingdom was AWESOME. We met up with The Wards and SoCal Lundells. So many awesome animals and they had SO much space. It was so much fun!

 This concludes the parks...on to the BEACH!
