Our Vacation!!!

Tom, Sally, and Kim came to visit us this past week from New York and we had a blast!! They haven't seen the kids for over a year now so they were very excited to see them in person and not just in pictures that get sent every couple of months. They have never been to California so we decided to take a little road trip. We left early Thursay morning and went to the Wild Animal Park at the San Diego World Zoo. Where the kids got to sit in an egg.

Pet some deer.

Ride a Rhinocerous.

And just lay around.

Then we were off to LA on Friday to see a taping of:

Unfortunately they don't let you take cameras in so this was the only picture we got of that. But we did also go see the Hollywood sign.

Saturday was my personal favorite, we went to Sea World!!! The kids did amazing, the first two days were a little trying with a lot of crying and whining but when it really counted they were happy and having a great time!! Neither of them took a nap that day and only Cynthia fell asleep during the Shamu show at 7 that night!!! (Her dancing wore her out!!) Ricky went on two rides and loved them.

We fed the dolphins,

pet sting rays,

saw sharks,

and had a great time.

We came back on Sunday, oh what a drive. Monday we took the kids to the Mccormick Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale and Ricky got to ride a train for the first time!! He loved it!!

Then we had a day to relax and then sent them off back home. :( Everyone had a great time, and missed each other as soon as good byes were finished. I think the kids have taken it the hardest, not being held all day and played with constantly has been a hard thing to adjust to. We are making due though and will just have to look forward to the next time we get to play together.
