Fathers Day in SoCal

Father's Day this year was celebrated down South with My dad and Butter of course. We went to Sea World, and we had the most amazing time. The kids were in awe with all the shows and seeing all the different kinds of whales, dolphins, sea lions ect. We spent a full day there and did everything! It was a great end to our Southern California Trip. Thank You to my dad for coming with us on all the fun adventures and letting us stay with him.

Day Eight of Our Trip to SoCal

Yesterday I wasnt with camera hence the missing of "Day 7" of our trip. It was a nice relaxing day after Disneyland. My dad took Taylor to the pool for 4 hrs! Needless to say, she is turning into quite the fish. Brady and I spent the afternoon at Borders and later met my dad and Taylor at the pool for a swim as well. The kids were exhausted! It was a nice early night for them

Day 8 of our trip was relaxing but fun and busy. We started the morning going back to the park! Let me tell you, I forgot how pregnant women and heat just do not mix. It was a warm morning and after a 2 hr play at the park, I fell asleep as fast as Brady did for his nap.

When we all decided to wake up, we made our way to visit with Lauren, Jude and Michelle. Brady and Taylor enjoyed playing with toys, Lauren and Tommy's yorkie Dodger, eating out and I loved the socializing. We were also SO LUCKY to be there to experience with Lauren, Jude taking steps towards walking! Jude did amazing! I am really glad that I have been able to meet him and spend time getting to know the sweet little guy.

Day Six of Our Trip to SoCal

Disneyland! The last time we were able to have taken Taylor to Disneyland was 2 years ago. This was her second time visiting, as well as Brady's First. It was such a long day filled with rides, character autograph and pictures, parades, food and taking in the experience of this place. We all had a great deal of fun.

Taylor's Favorite ride was Star Wars. She thought it was amazing that she went up into space. She also enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean just as much as she did last time! Taylor LOVED looking for characters this trip. As you will be able to see by the pictures.

Brady had an amazing first time visiting. There was so much to look at he just sat in awe. His favorite ride was Its a Small World, The rockets and of course the train. After watching the fireworks display i think we were all exhausted. It was a perfect ending to a great day.

Brady Taking a picture with goofy. This is just hilarious to me!
