Trip Highlights

Love all the Birds of Paradise

In and out and in and out of car seats

Swimming is always fun

Taking Zippy for a walk

Church on Sunday

Ready to leave the church and go to the temple

Beautiful flowers

Smiley Adelynn


At the temple

Like a fairy castle.  Pictures do not do it justice.

Hard to get a 'family' picture, but they're all cute.

At the Mormon Battalion Museum.

Wouldn't be fun to drag a cannon along on a 2000 mile trek

Panning for gold

Pumping water

Washing Clothes

Riding in a covered wagon

Real Gas Lights

Cute Ray on the beach

Cade in the sun and sand

Great ship!

We got to go on it, and a group of 5th graders were going to spend the night!

Model boat maker

Going down into a submarine

Periscope

San Diego from the bay

On a real pirate ship (in fact, it was used in the newest Pirates of the Caribbean Movie)

Don't recall ever seeing so many sea lions in the wild.  There were TONS of them.

Cade and Brennan loved the hermit crabs

Eating their $18 ice cream!

Brennan got too tired and threw a terrific fit on the beach.  His only mistake was having a teary face, and then doing a face plant.  Annie got a great picture of all the caked on sand with tear streaks!

Mother hen and her chicks--the size of a dinner plate

SW airlines was constantly flying overhead...Airport has one air strip, and 600 flights/day

Riding a trolly

At a park.......momentarily forgotten the name.  It was great.

Strange cactus tree thing

Gorgeous jacaranda trees were everywhere

Ray enjoying the pretty flowers

Michael with a 'pincher crab'

Adelynn on the motel bed

They all got to pet the alligator

Shamu

Circ de la mar

Big turtle

Ray

Cool sea bird

Adelyn got tired

Funny how seals can balance things on their nose

Kind of weird to have a shark swim over your head

In a raft

More beautiful flowers

My dream car

My dream airplane

Navy Cadets playing Big Band.  They were GREAT.

Michael picked up a new girl

Cute airplane

What could be more fun?

I tried sleeping with them.  Gave up most of 3 nights of sleep.  Then they took the floor.  It was either them or me!
