Spring Break Continued

We were really spoiled and got to have an extended Spring Break this year. Jed's brother and his family drove down to San Diego for the weekend because their Spring Break was the week after ours. So we let Olivia play hooky from school (and Jed from work - don't worry, he deserves it) on Monday and we all went to Sea World!! It was so fun listening to Lexi "ooowing " and "aaawing" at all of the dolphins and whales. She's still talking about Disneyland and Sea World.


Watching the Sea Lions

Jed and Lexi on the spinning starfish. I did it first with Lexi and thought I could handle the "little kids" ride, but boy was I wrong! Here she wanted to ride the flying Elmo over and over:)

While the older kids and adults (besides me) went on the "Journey to Atlantis" ride, Lexi and I hung out at the huge fish tank. She couldn't take her eyes off all the fish and sting rays.


Jed's brother's family then drove to Palm Springs and stayed with us for the rest of their Spring Break and we had a lot of fun! We even got to enjoy an adult date night to PF Changs - yummy! We hope you guys come back to visit soon!

Spring Break

Let me start by saying that for Christmas this year I would like a nice new camera!! I know it's a little early for a Christmas list, but my Birthday has already passed and I'm tired of looking at my fuzzy pictures!! I want the crystal clear pictures on my blog that I see on everyone else's blogs :)
So I apologize for the quality of my pictures in advance. Anyway, despite the horrible camera, we were able to have a really fun Spring Break! The girls and I went to my parents for the whole week (yes Jed had to stay home and work - surprise!). We went to the beach, swam in the pool, played at the park, went to the movies and took Lexi to Disneyland for the 1st time!!!! There is nothing better than seeing the excitement of a child at Disneyland for their first time - so fun:)

Chris, Cassy, Shaina, Chaz and my parents joined us in all the fun! The weather was perfect that day until about 6pm when it started getting TOO cold and raining - so we decided to call it quits a little earlier than planned. It was a really great day though - and I got to ride on rides that I hadn't been on since I was a child:) (they were the only ones that I could ride while being pregnant - the submarine, the train, Small World - you know, the really exciting ones;)


Lexi LOVES horses, so the first ride she chose was of course the Carousel with Mimi :)

This being her first experience, Mimi had to also buy her some of her very own Mickey Mouse ears and she chose these ones!


Poor Lexi kept on asking to ride the elephant ride, but the line was way too long - so I'm really glad that she settled for a picture in this Dumbo :) Such a fun day! We'll have to do it again soon (one of the perks of living in Southern California and having annual passes:) But hopefully next time Jed can make the traveling team and be part of the fun - we missed you babe!
