Day 2 of California

Day 2 of California we went to the Santa Ana Zoo and hung out with family. They girls had a great time walking around the zoo and seeing the animals. They are excited for our big day tomorrow when we go to Legoland!
I love my crazy girls!

A better picture :)

Hatching eggs

Brooklyn loved the goats and sheep that you could pet

The other girls did not like the animals that you could pet

We were able to hang out with family. The girls loved playing with their cousin or second cousin. Something like that!!

Day 1 of California

We made it to California! After an eventful morning with Brooklyn, doctor appointments, and xrays, we finally made it out the door to start our trip. The girls were awesome on the drive!

Brooklyn and Caemlyn

We went to Huntington Beach for a couple of hours and ate at Ruby's Diner on the pier. We did not wear bathing suits, because it was chilly and the ocean was ice cold. I didn't think the girls would want to play in the water, but I was wrong! Brooklyn and Addison would not get out of the ocean. They loved it! Caemlyn liked building sandcastles best. She did get brave and got her feet wet. Ben had a lot of fun showing the girls everything. He was bummed that he hurt his back, because he really wanted to go skimboarding.

The family

After the beach, we went to my Dad's grave and said Happy Birthday! He would have turned 61 today and is very missed. I cannot believe that it has almost been 2 years since he passed.

Trimming the edges of the headstone

My grandparents bought a plot next to my Dad's. This is their headstone!

Brooklyn loved the wind chimes on the tree and picking everyone's flowers!

Family pictures

 Ben's Dad took some awesome pictures of our family while we were in Utah. I loved how they turned out. I need to train my kids to actually sit and pose for the camera. Brooklyn sat for exactly one second before she took off in every shot. He did capture some cute ones. I am trying to learn photoshop and practicing my nonexistent skills with these pictures.

Addison's kindergarten graduation

We have a first grader! Addison graduated from kindergarten. She is very sad to be on summer break and be in a new class. She is going to miss her teacher. I would post pictures of this wonderful occasion, but they were deleted from my camera by accident...bummer! Her class was really cute and sang some songs. I did get a family picture :)

Kid-free girls trip!!!


My husband is the best (again) and watched the girls for 6 days while I went away on an awesome girls trip. I had a lot of fun hanging with my mom and two sisters. My other two sisters were missed! We enjoyed staying at my Grandparent's house and getting to see all the family. (Warning: Picture overload, but so worth it!)
