California Trip part one

Wednesday June 1

Well we have been very fortunate to be able to take another trip to California.  Cody and myself have wanted to go somewhere as a family to celebrate his one year mark.  My sister has been working for Jet blue this past year and had several buddy passes she needed to get rid of before she quit in the middle of the month.  I asked Cody where he would like to go now that we can fly and his response was Disneyland.  With the airline tickets for just the price of taxes and our timeshare the only expense we were going to have was park admissions and food.  So off we went and my sisters family joined us.

The kids were so excited to fly.  Stetson loves airplanes and any chance he gets to go up there and pick people up he goes.  We asked him what his favorite part of the trip was and of course it was the plane ride.

We started off the trip down in San Diego.  We thought the kids would enjoy the Zoo since we had never been there.  I couldn't believe how big it was.

The Panda Bears were so stinking cute!  This is the baby one and it was no little guy.

The kids really enjoyed the petting area.

After we left the Zoo we drove over to the beach.  The weather was a little cooler than normal for June so we didn't get in the water the kids just enjoyed walking in the sand.

The next day we headed over to Sea World.  We loved it here our kids have been begging to go see the Shamu show for over the past year.  I have to say its not quit the same now that the trainers don't get in the water with the whales anymore.  Our kids were a little disappointed also.  Don't get me wrong we still really enjoyed it.

Just outside the Shamu show there is a tank with Dolphins.  This is the interactive area where you can feed and pet the Dolphins.  Tenlie really enjoyed it Stetson was not quit sure of touching them. 

Then it was off to the Dolphin show. We LOVED the show!!!! They have started a new show with people on ropes and swings.  This show had to have been every ones very favorite.  Again the weather was perfect not to warm just right.  My nephew McKay was wanting to get wet all day, But for the most of us it just wasn't warm enough.  If you can tell in the picture below he talked the boys into sitting in the splash area and us girls sat several rows up from them. 

I do have to laugh cause again the crowd on the other side got it and they came out very dry.

 

Sea World was a great way to end our time in San Diego.  The kids really enjoyed it and still are talking about it.  We love the shows and all the little animals.
