California Vacation

We were able to take a week long family vacation to the San Diego area this past month. It was the first time we have flown with kids....and although they did very well we're not in a hurry to do it again.

Waiting to board in Pasco. Unfortunately we had to wait quite a while as our original flight was canceled due to fog and we had to wait for the next plane.

Can't tell these two are related, can you?

Enjoying the in-flight snack

This little lady did pretty well...but it was hard to sit still and be happy for the flight from Seattle to Orange County, especially without a nap.

Our first full day in California we spent at Sea World. We loved it! There were hardly any people there and we got to marvel at God's creation together as a family.

Waiting for Shamu show to start

These killer whales are phenomenal

Enjoying the rides at Sea World - and we didn't even have to wait in line!

Watching the Dolphin show - the kids were dialed in the whole time.

Dolphin show was fantastic!

Hudson with the sea turtles - they were huge!
Looking at the beluga whales - there was even a baby whale.
We got some fresh strawberries at the farmers market in Oceanside and enjoyed them on the beach....what a perfect morning!

Hudson took a little tumble in the ocean and ended up in just his pants. The locals all thought he was crazy as they thought the 70ish weather was cold.
