Fun at Sea World!

It was 111* in Indio, and we couldn't take it any more so we hopped in the van and headed to San Diego. It was 69* the kids asked why we didn't live there? Good question. I think it has something to do with money, but they said they would sacrifice and live in a 1 bedroom apartment. I'm not sure we could even afford that. Anyways, we did have enough to enjoy it for the day.We went to Sea World for the first time in about6 years. It was lot's of fun and we all had a great time. Even Tyler was there, but he had a friend with him and ditched us the whole time so he's not in any pictures. I would have to say the Shamu show was my favorite. We sat in the 4th row and we got soaked! I really enjoyed them all though.

The kid's loved touching the star fish, but they were scared when it came to the eel. Smart kid's.

The stroller was expensive, but it came in handy.

Happy 4Th!

What a great 4th of July weekend! We drove up to Yucca Valley where the weather was actually great! We watched Adam play baseball, went swimming, had an awesome BBQ at Steve's parent's house, and for those of you that have had the privilege of eating a BBQ at their house know what I'm talking about! Were talking hot dogs, ribs, tamales, all sorts of salad's, you name it it was probably there. And topped it all off with Fireworks from the Yucca Valley High school right from the back yard. It was lots of fun! Thanks for the invite Teresa and Wendell.(I think we sort of invited ourselves though).

Dinner with my Brother and his family!

A couple of weeks ago my brother Chip was in town with his good looking family! We had an awesome dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and dessert at Ben and Jerry's. It was a short visit, but lot's of fun. The kids really hit it off well.

Mike's sister Emily and her family came into town last week and Mike thought of something fun , but cheap to keep every one entertained. A family scavenger hunt. We split up into 2 groups and took our camera's to accomplish 20 different tasks in 3 hours. We had alot of fun and came home afterwards and made a Cd and scrap book from all the pictures. Not to mention alot of fun memories that will stay with us for a long time.
