Circus, Circus

Our first night in Vegas we spent at Circus Circus. It was a nasty place, I didn't feel clean even after a shower. We played in the arcade and went inside the indoor amusement park. The boys had a fun time but I was happy to go to the Venetian for the next night.

Happy Fourth of July!

We spent our day at the beach. We made sandcastles, played in the water, and ate hot dogs- it was all very American. I came away with a lovely burn that I am still peeling from, it's just lovely.

Nana and Emmalee

Mom and Emmalee have a special bond. Emmalee loves her Nana!

San Diego Temple

After we went to the aquarium we went to the temple. It is such a beautiful temple and the boys loved running around the grounds. We also saw our old apartment and checked to see if our old bikes were still there- someone must have figured out the combinations because they were gone. It's only been like seven years!

Scripps Birch Aquarium

Instead of Sea World we went to the aquarium. It's a fun little place that is right by UCSD. The boys liked seeing the sharks the best.

Go Padres!

We took in a Padres game one afternoon. They were losing which was a bummer, but we all had a good time and I love Petco Park. We left early, which I was glad to because we heard that they postponed the game for an hour due to bees. Anyone who knows me knows that that is like a nightmare for me- I hate bees!

Bringing Mom home to the Beach

The day Mom got home from the hospital we took her to the beach. It was so fun. The boys played in the water and us girls just laid out in the sun(that was behind the clouds).

Seaport Village

In downtown there is a cute little village with all kinds of shops that we like to visit. We went there with Darin, Catherine, and Calee. Mom was in the hospital for the first four days of our trip, it was hard for us to do anything without her.

Road Trip

So we loaded up the minivan and did a road trip. We saw San Diego, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City. We had 10 suitcases, two totes, a cooler, a swing, and a bouncy seat. The boys watched movies and enjoyed the sites while Emmalee preferred to scream in the car- she prefers to be held. Emmalee and I ended up flying home from Salt Lake City while the boys continued home on the road.

Emmalee 6 Weeks

She is growing like a weed! I can't believe how much she looks like her brothers.
