Trip to San Diego, part one

We had a great time visiting Grandpa, Kevin, Kelly, Wyatt, and meeting Luke!  Annabelle did great on her first flights.  Entertaining Caden was a little more challenging, especially on the way back when we were delayed 90 minutes sitting on the plane.  But overall, both did outstanding on the plane.  We have slowly been getting back into the groove of things.  The kids have still sort of been on California time; Caden slept until 8:30 the first morning or two; his wake up time has slowly inched up to 7am this morning.  It would be nice if it would stick there; I have no desire to go back to the 5:30am wake up calls.

So I've been sifting through pictures from our trip.  I deleted some on the camera and still when I loaded them, I had 256.  I'm now down to an album of 126.  I'll try to get an online album put together in the next few days to send to family.

Caden loved watching all of the activity at the airports.

 

Everyone in their seats for Annabelle's first flight.  Food is always good entertainment...

 

After we arrived on Thursday, Kelly and I took the older boys to a park.

 

They worked up an appetite for dinner in the backyard.

 

Friday we headed to Sea World.  Caden had so much fun.  We saw the dolfins.  The adults all took a turn petting the sting rays.  The kids enjoyed just watching them.

 

Caden did pet the star fish.

 

Caden liked watching the seals and sea lions.  One side of the exhibit allowed for people to feed them trays of fish.  They were really noisy begging for food!  Caden kept saying, "they're noisy!  They ask for food!"

 

The shark exhibit was cool!  It was so dark in there, though, that the pictures didn't really turn out.  Here's a picture of Brian, Caden, Kevin, and Wyatt.  Wyatt seems a little distraught that a shark is heading straight for Kevin's head. :)

 

I was always behind the camera, but I did ask Brian to take this picture of us at the end of the shark exhibit.  Although, Caden was done..."no picture!", he kept saying.  but here's proof that I was there...

 

Annabelle and Luke are both such happy babies.  They just went with the flow the whole trip.  Here they are hanging out in their pj's.

 

We went to the beach on Coronado for Annabelle's first trip to the beach.  Here she and Luke are hanging out at the beach.

 

Caden and Wyatt enjoyed playing in the sand.

 

And in the waves.

 

 

All the boys, minus Luke.
