SAN DIEGO HERE WE COME!!!!

Last Thursday we left on our vacation to San Diego. We went with Wade's Mom and Dad. We went and stayed in Las Vegas Thursday night, and then got up Friday morning and flew to San Diego. The kids were so excited. Thursday when we got down there we went and watched the water show at the Bellgio and then went to Excalibur and got an ice cream.

Waiting at the airport-the boys were so excited to "get on the plane"

Jaxon, Daxon, Jaden, Wesley, and Heidi watching the luggage being loaded. Wade's Dad went down to the National School Board Convention, so there were other families that went with us.

Jaxon was so excited he kept asking "when are we going to blast off"

It was the scariest plane ride I have ever been on. The wind was blowing so hard in Las Vegas and the pilot warned us it was going to be a bumpy ride, but that was putting it mild. We took off and all of a sudden we took the biggest hop. Everybody on the plane screamed. It felt like we were going back down. Jaden and Jaxon loved it and thought it was a roller coaster ride.

SEA WORLD

First stop-SHAMU

The kids were so amazed at how big he was.

Waiting for the Shamu show to start-and yes we were in the splash zone and yes we did get wet.

Having some Zingers

While we were at the zoo we got to feed the giraffes. It was pretty cool. They have the longest tongues and just stick it out there and snatch the biscuit right up

Jaden loved the alligators

OLD TOWN SAN DIEGO

On Monday we went down to Old Town and just walked around for a minute. The kids loved this old guy and wanted their picture taken with him

CORONADO ISLAND

Monday afternoon Wade went to the baseball game with everyone and the boys and I didn't want to go so we caught the ferry over to Coronado Island. They loved riding on the boat.

We went to the beach and they loved it. They ran right in and started splashing.

See the excitement

Jaxon loved the fighter jets that flew over us

Jaxon "surfing" as he called it

Trying to build a sand castle and the water kept washing it away

It was a great time to get away for awhile. It's always so hard to come back home and get into the swing of things. Maybe now that tax season is almost over I will be better about updating my blog--MAYBE!!
