California!

So we got back yesterday from our vacation to California. It was tons of fun and I am very sad to be back to reality. I feel even worse for Dave because he had to go back to work! Here are some pictures from the vacation.

We started off our trip by stopping in Las Vegas to spend time with Janet and Aaron. We visited the Shark Reef Aquarium. Andrew wasn't that interested but it was so much fun to watch his cousins, Ben, Luke and Zack enjoy it so much. It got me so excited for when Andrew is older. It makes me wonder what he will be interested in. This is a picture of Andrew and Zack strolling through the exhibit.

Then on Tuesday morning we drove to Aliso Veijo to visit Nathan and Emily Judd. It was so fun to see them. They moved last December when Nathan graduated from BYU. Their little boy Easton is so big. His personality is darling and I can see a lot of similarities between him and Andrew. After hanging out with them and going to dinner we were off to San Diego. Of course Andrew had enough of being in the car by the time we arrived and unfortunatly, we go a little lost. It was a rough end to our first evening. The next day, Wednesday, we decided to go to Sea World. We had to find a place to eat first and we randomly drove right to a Denny's. I was so excited that something worked out perfectly that I had to take a picture!


Then we were off to Sea World. It was a lot of fun. It was hot though and Dave and I both got sunburned. Don't worry, we were smart enough to put sunscreen all over Andrew. These pictures are from the Shamu show. We went to all the shows, one right after another. The craziest thing was when we went to the Seal and Otter show. There were a bunch of camera people around before the show started. Dave and I noticed but had no idea why. Then before the show officially started one of the actresses had Gene Simmons come out of the audience to meet the seal. If anyone knows why Gene Simmons was there and for what they were taping him, let us know!

The next day we went to the beach. We didn't stay too long because all Andrew really wanted to do was to eat the sand. We took some photos and then went back to the hotel because our pool was really nice and Andrew loved swimming in it. Andrew is trying to get the computer away from me so I will have to blog about the zoo and the rest of our trip later!
