Swimming Lessons, Dino Park, and Train Museum

Okay, so I'm still catching up from our summer adventures. Better late than never, right??

Swimming Lessons!!!

Alyssa did really well. She grew leaps and bounds, but still has a long way to go. But she had a lot of fun!

Brenden loved it!

Kate didn't love it so much, but I'm not very fun to sit next to for 45 min., I guess.

My three cute swimmers.

The train museum. Kate found something she loves! She just kept saying, "Choo-choo" over and over and over again. And she freaked out when we left this area. Oh no, another kid in nursery to fight over the trains.....

The model trains are always fun to watch.

And now on to the Dino Park. AAAAHHHHHHH!

This wooly rhino is nasty looking.

Triceratops is always a favorite.

For some reason she loved this Camarasaurus. Did you know that when we learned Brontosaurus as kids, what it really was, was a Camarasaurus head on a Brachiosaurus body??? Poor Brontosaurus!

This one is fun to say....Styracosaurus!

Be careful, I heard there were some dangerous animals that got out the day we were there.

Yay! I'm caught up until September...more coming soon!

San Diego and Disneyland!!!

Okay, so at the end of July Justin had a conference in San Diego. Yeah, we went with him, and it was great!

This is my most FAVORITE restaurant in the whole world!!! I would eat here every day if I could. I have dreams about Anthony's shrimp. It's fabulous! MMmmmm, my mouth is watering. If you are ever in San Diego you have to check out Anthony's!

Then we went to my second favorite place in San Diego, Sea Port Village.  My family went there growing up and so I've loved it forever. It's a fun little shopping village right on the water.

The Hat Shop is one of our favorites =)

                                    While Justin was working I took the kids to the San Diego Zoo.

                              When Justin was finished we went to SeaWorld! Love that place!

                                                        

                                        Then off to the beach!!! We also love the beach, so fun!

We were supposed to drive home the day after the beach, but we decided at the last second to go to Disneyland instead of driving home. So hooray, we went to DISNEYLAND!!!

We started off at Indiana Jones. It was our first time going on it and we loved it!

                                               

                Of course the Princesses were a HUGE hit! I had to get in the pictures this time, I'm a princess

                                                                   too, right???

Our little princesses =)

Buzz Light Year is a really fun ride! Even Kate got into it!

We didn't go on this ride last time either, the story book boat ride is really cute.

Space Mountain! They liked it much better this time.

Kate and Mr. Toad.

Staying an extra day was so much fun! Disneyland twice in one year doesn't usually happen, but it sure was fun!

Jackson Trip (Yes, A Little Late)

At the end of July we went up to Jackson, WY with my family. Yes, July. I'm a little behind. We, of course, had to go fishing for TJ. He was very excited. It was a good day, they caught quite a few. It made TJ's trip. He was in heaven.

I love this pic. She loved Grandpa's boat. She still asks about Grandpa's boat.

It was no small miracle that we had perfect weather. We had a lot of fun on the beach and on the boat because the weather was so good and so was the company =).

Say cheese!

 We celebrated Brenden and Kate's birthdays, but we were actually there on Brenden's birthday so he was very excited.

Cheese!

Brenden and TJ both got to knee board for the first time. I think they liked it. They did a great job!

We love it there and we had a fabulous time!
