San Diego Vacation

Presley went to Vacation Bible School at the Chapel on post last week. She had a ball. I'm so proud of her for going and making new friends here. We went to the Closing Ceremony and BBQ Friday afternoon then loaded up for our vacation to San Diego. 
 Anna enjoyed her private movie in her car seat while the other two watched the big movie. Thankfully, we didn't hit too much traffic and got to San Diego just in time for dinner.
 The kids were so excited for VACATION!! They loved staying in a hotel.
 We went to dinner the first night then back to the hotel to get some sleep. Saturday morning we went to Denny's for breakfast before heading to Sea World. David woke up jumping up and down that morning, peeling off his pj's and dressing himself in rapid speed to head to Sea World. He has been so excited to see Shamu and could not wait!  The kids loved Denny's so much we went back Sunday morning! Anna-bug is obsessed with her daddy! Especially after her shared a lot of his breakfast with her.
 Walking in to Sea World!! 
 First pic with Shamu
 This is overkill on the Orca pictures, but I just love all of them. Anna LOVED "Mamu" and kept saying "quack quack" to all of the other animals. She did not want to leave the whales.  This was her favorite part of the day. David loved Shamu so much!! He is completely obsessed with Shamu. 
 Talking to the Sea Lions
 In the Shark Encounter
 Looking at the sharks
 We were on the street when the flamingos came walking by! It was really cool!
 Sitting in the Soak Zone at Shamu's show. Thankfully, we didn't get too soaked, just a little wet. David got it the worst.
 Her crackers got a little wet, but she didn't mind...
 We ran over to the Dolphin Show after lunch. It was really cute, another good show!
 Visiting the walrus
 Picture in front of the penguins
 His first ride! We went to the Sesame Street Play area and rode a ride like Dumbo. He absolutely loved it!! 
 Pres and Cameron
 Riding the tea cups
 Picking out a toy souvenir. He is so obsessed with his shamu. He shows us how shamu goes all the time (makes him do flips) and was excited to show Shamu our house. I had no idea how much he would love this entire trip. He was beaming the whole weekend.
 Our family pic on the famous San Diego pier
 We headed to the La Jolla beach this morning before we left San Diego. It was really overcast all weekend so we didn't put on our suits, just walked around the boardwalk and played in the shallow water. Once again, David was BEAMING! He loved it! Presley collected some sea shells and loved playing in the water. Anna even enjoyed letting the water hit her feet.
 Pure happiness
 So glad to spend such a fun weekend with my awesome family. 
 Someone crashed on the way home... at like 11am!
 And I just have to post Anna's big moves tonight since we've been home. She pulled herself up to the walker and started walking with it. She's been doing a lot better pulling up and walking holding our hands.  So excited, she's on her way to walking!
And this is how this little nut crawls now. She thinks it's hilarious to straighten her legs and crawl like this.
Such a funny girl!
