Family Vacation!!

We went to San Diego at the end of May

for our family vacation. We had a busy 6 days!

first we visited some of my family in Rancho Cucamonga,

then headed to Long beach to see the Russian Sub

and the Queen Mary. Then we headed to Santa Monica

Beach for some fun in the sun! The boys were stoked to ride

the big ferris wheel on the pier, but just our luck the rides

on the pier closed early that day. We were pretty bummed.

So we went over to third street to catch some street perfomers.

I never would've imagined that little Taggart would be one

of those performers! we saw some dancers so we asked him to

show us his moves, I never knew he was a little break dancer!

It was the cutest, funniest thing I have ever seen, I just wish I

had a video camera. Then we headed for San Diego to spend some

time with BJ's family at Sea World. The trip home was

probably the most eventful. Zander got sick and was throwing up

the whole way home! We made it to a gas station right before the

first time he threw up, as soon as I got out and reached to undo

his seatbelt to get him out, he threw up all over inside the truck!

So it was a long smelly trip home, but this nice lady at the gas

station made him a puke bag for the rest of the trip home. That

was a lifesaver! and of course as soon as we got home he

was fine and didnt throw up again. It was a great trip, but it was

good to be home!!

Me and Zander on the rapids ride at Sea World.

Poor Tag, they said he was too short to ride. You

have to be the same height to ride on the Atlantis,

which was way scary compared to the rapids ride,

but they let him on that one. We felt pretty bad so

we were going to buy him a toy sword, but all we had

left was our credit card, and the machine wasn't working.

Poor kid

Zander & Tag before the Journey to Atlantis ride.

Once was enough for them, they wouldn't get back

on that ride. I felt pretty bad. they loved the first part

that you see in the picture, but after that I dont think Tag

was breathing. They were both pretty scared.

Calista & BJ at the Believe show. Calista loved

the Killer Whales!

We had to take a picture of Taggart by

the milk jug. If we had a milk cow, he would

be attached to it 24/7!

The kids had a blast playing in the sand at the

Santa Monica beach.

BJ and the boys on the Forest Gump bench

at the Santa Monica pier

Me and the kids in the Russian Sub.

Pretty amazing that grown men could

fit in there and actually function.

Me sitting on the toilet in the sub! I couldn't

resist, it was funny!

Me and the kids at seaport village in San Diego.

I got pooped on right before that. Stupid birds!!

luckily it was just my arm.

BJ and the boys at Seaport Village. BJ wanted

to go see the aircraft carrier they had, but of course

when we got there they had just closed for the day. BJ

was pretty sad.

Zander & Taggart would not stop chasing

those stinkin' birds! wherever we went they

thought it was the funniest thing to chase them.

They even got Calista doing it.
